Fainting

[Isaack]

Has anyone ever felt like there ears are full and get a feeling that they will faint? If so any medication that can help? This is driving me nutts and I'm not even anxious. It cones out of the blue

Hi Isaack, I always feel like I am going to faint and when it passes I continue to feel dizzy and lightheaded. I am struggling with this for few months already and doctors are saying it is stress and anxiety. Please let me know if you find a solution to your problem. I am tired of this and I don't know what to do.

[Isaack in reply to Santana44]

Me too... It comes out of no where. Do you get a fullness in your ears?

[anxiouslady13]

I get this and it scares me but I guess it's ok because I don't ever faint. When I get that feeling I put an ice pack on the back of my neck for a little bit and if possible, lay down with feet up or sit down and put my head in between my legs. Hope this helps.

I wanted to add- yes I get ear fullness and sometimes a ringing and loss of hearing. It's one of the anxiety symptoms that really are scary for me.

[Isaack in reply to anxiouslady13]

Okay thank you. I thought I was either going crazy or going to faint. Does ice really help

[anxiouslady13 in reply to Isaack]

Yes ice helps. You can splash cold water on your face as well.

[Isaack in reply to anxiouslady13]

Thanks. I will surely try this. I just hate it cuz it comes even when I'm not anxious

[anxiouslady13 in reply to Isaack]

Yepit happens out of nowhere.

I have this feeling pretty much every day ... Feel off balance and like I will faint... It's my absolute worse symptom

[Isaack in reply to Ashley1489]

Yeah it sucks. What anxiety medication do you take ? I take buspo but it don't help

[Ashley1489 in reply to Isaack]

I take 0.5 mg of xanax I cut it in half though for awhile so I won't have to move up in mg

[Isaack in reply to Ashley1489]

Does it help tho? I don't wanna try something that wont work

[Ashley1489 in reply to Isaack]

It does help alot..... But you have to be careful with it. Or you'll just keep going up on mgs. Best to stay low

[Anxiousfrog]

I get the same thing! But not very often. Does you feel like there's pressure aswell?

[Isaack in reply to Anxiousfrog]

Yeah pressure in my ears. It feels like my ears are stuffed with stuff

[Anxiousfrog in reply to Isaack]

Sounds like allergies. I'd ask a ears nose and throat specialist what to do. I'm thinking about talking to one.

I have full ears most of time, scary feeling plus pulsating tinnitus!

Nothing can help, but when is worse I have more anxiety, tightness in my throat too so overall not nice feeling in my head! Take care x
