Worried

[22_D]

Hi everyone , I'm to say the least crapping myself , for a while now I've had a little ringing in my left ear & balance problems .... Finally went to my gp who referred to ent , I had a earring test & Mri a few weeks ago ... Went for mri results this week & they are inconclusive , so I've been told have to have a Mri with contrast on the 30th Dec ... Really worrying 😢

Try not to worry (I know that’s easier said than done) the MRI with contrast will be a much better picture for the specialist to see what’s going on.

what was the result of your Hearing test? Try not to jump to conclusions until you have a diagnosis as there are many things that cause similar symptome

As the others have said, try to be calm and patient, as this first few months when things are new and scary, are probably the worst for most of us. The tests and waiting for results to find out what's actually going on can be really worrrying - how about trying relaxation/mindfulness exercises, deep breathing etc. They can sound naff, but have made a difference for me! All the best with the waiting and results, and try to enjoy life. xx
