Yesterday was a good day, had to drive two hrs to pick my son up at camp. Had a small panic attack after ordering lunch, lately it's my ears that start an anxiety attack. I had a bad attack three weeks ago when I woke up with stuffy ears and it was during a dosage adgustment so my anxiety was real high. The stuffy ear feeling scared me, thinking something must be wrong with my brain. Went to my doctor and I had fluid on my ear from my sinuses, so I was calmed. But do you notice that you really don't forget what triggered your bad attack and then if something like it happens again then Bam, instant panic, even though you know it's nothing? Now I'm super vigilant about any funny ear feelings and find myself shaking my head a lot. UGH

D.S.

Sorry to hear about your attack...but glad that you are doing better generally speaking, and were able to pick up your son without too much anxiety. I am sure you were glad to see him, and I hope he had a good time!

I have had ear issues from time to time as well. The full-headed stuffy feeling is very unpleasant!

I once had a middle ear infection for some time. I had no pain or fever, just the stuffy head feeling, along with tinnitus.

I had gotten used to the weird head symptoms of anxiety, and it wasn't until I went in for a regular check up that it was discovered!

I think that all of these symptoms can be related and/or confused for one another!

I am sure that you can continue to work past your triggers and continue your progress!

Keep up the good work.:)

2serious, my ears trigger it bad, it never bothered me before but now when my ears feel funny I automatically think something serious. It's ridiculous but when it happens it's so NOT ridiculous.
