Hi! I am 32 years old - in good health. I have this red ear problem - in fact have done for a few years now - Yes! it's embarrasing - My blood pressure is excellent, I don't drink and I just don't know! I was very relieved to read that it's not just me with this problem. I have not been able to ascertain what triggers it - it can happen anytime. I am mostly a vegan vegetarian and am very careful about toxins & chemicals. I wonder if it is a hormonal problem??? Who has perfect hormones this day & age? Have you had any luck finding anything more out?
this is all so strange, but did any of you ever think of the blood pressure thing?about a year ago, i was drinking alot of hard alcohol one night and all of the sudden my right ear started burning.i thought something had bit me, then my left ear started.i looked in the mirror and they were both bright red!it freaked me out.im 28 my health is good but i am a single mom of 2 small kids.i cant say im the most relaxed person in the world.in fact im really tired and stressed for the most part.anyways,everytime i drink this happens and when i get really mad/stressed.i dont know for sure but i would swear its linked to my blood pressure.if any one has heard of this please let me know.
Hi Louise ! I have had this problem for almost ayear now. Mostly my left ear turn red and hot but sometimes my left ear and cheeks also turn red and hot. The strange thing is that I always get this in the afternoon at 3 pm or in the evenig at 8 pm. have you experienced this facial flush also ? I have been tested for carcinoid and mastocytosis but they haven´t found anything abnormal yet. My problem triggers by stress and temperature changes.
I think I have found the answer - eating lots of rolled oats seem to stop it - I think there is something in rolled oates for the nervous system??? let me know how you go - it only took 2 weeks for mine to stop
