Anyone else get strange ear pressure and it scares you?

Hey Debora,

I am really sorry to hear your suffering. Health anxiety is horrific. I have had many different symptoms that have caused me to panic over the years. Anything off with my head can really set me off to the panic races!

Have you seen the Super Scanner Resource www.get.gg/docs/SuperScanner.pdf? There are many other great health anxiety resources in the resource section www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=9&m=104206.

My heart really goes out to you. I have battled health anxiety for years and it is very difficult. Seriously, I have been gassy today and it had freaked me out! Breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, and other things that help me break that cycle are what get me through. I really recommend finding some relaxation exercises that can help you break the circle.

Deborah, the ear thing drives my wife nutts, she will just take a med and go to bed, Peace

Deborah,

I am so happy to hear that my post helps. Trust me, it takes a super scanner to know a super scanner . Revisit that link from time to time though. Especially when you find yourself getting caught up in the loop. Also, breathing exercises have been invaluable to me, but everyone is different.

Do you mind me asking if you are on any anti anxiety medications or in any therapy?

Were you, or have you ever done CBT? Cognitive Behavior Therapy is great for folks like us! It really digs in and helps break the cycle.
