Had major surgery. Had to go back to the ER a few times. Can't stop the panic attacks

Had surgery on my ear to remove a colesteatoma for the 5th time. For some reason a spot wants to Bleed and I had to drive my self to the er. They had tons titch me up and when I left there was no blood. He put a bandage on. But everything feeling i think is my ear bleeding a d while no blood has come through on the bandage I can't shake the feeling which keeps me going into panic attacks. It's the feeling/sensation that won't stop and I can't shake

So sorry you're having a difficult time. I too have had cholesteatoma surgery twice, and may have to have a third time. It's scarry definitely. My first surgery I had a fair amount of bleeding from inside the ear, but was told it was normal. It seems yours is on the backside of your ear. As long as there's no more blood/discharge/pain it should be good for now. Call your surgeon in the morning and explain what happened. You will get through this one like you have in the past. Keep deep breathing and focus on other things. Feel better!

Thanks for the reply. It's a horrible thing isn't it. Mine is now around my carotid artery so I don't know what I'm going to do. I go tomorrow for my check up so hopefully I can calm down a little. Yeah mine is coming from.the back. I have gauze inside my ear which he is going to pull out. So far it seems good it's the the sensation it's bleeding even though it doesn't appear to be sets my attacks off. I want to sleep but I'm afraid to fall asleep. Hopefully things will be better tomorrow!

Hope your day was better. Wow, I can't believe it's near your carotid artery. I hope there is something that can be done to keep it away. Hoping you are feeling better!
