I'm new to the forum. Recently I made the decision to move back home after living in Louisiana for 6 months. I'm happy to be going home but the man I moved down here for isn't. For days now, I've been having anxiety symptoms, some of which are familiar but some are new. A full feeling, like pressure in my neck and ears now accompany the increased heart rate and pounding and shortness of breath. I'm starting to think it's something more serious. I do have a history of depression and anxiety disorders but have been out of alprozolam for about a month. Anyone else ever experience the pressure in neck and ears?

Hi InATizz and welcome!

I am sorry to hear of your returning anxiety issues. Moving and relationship issues are big stressors...so it is not suprising that you are feeling anxious and symptomatic.

I too have had the heavy headed feeling and full ears/pressure issue with anxeity.

However, at one point, it was really pronounced...more than usual, so I went in to get checked out...and it did turn out that I had a middle ear infection. No pain or fever, but those other symptomsyou described. (as well as some humming/buzzing sound in my ear)

So, if this is a new symptom, it might be a good idea to get things checked out, just to be safe.

Otherwise, using your anxiety coping skills should help! If you need some fresh ideas take a look here in our Resources.

Thank you for your quick response. I will see a doctor if my symptoms don't ease upon my return home. In the meantime, I will do my best to quell the anxiety through relaxation.
