Ear issues

[Slammysammy]

I know I just posted on here a couple days ago but I was just wondering if anyone gets a weird type feeling in there ears..like stuffed up but not really, and sensitive to sound. My anxiety has been super high lately and so has my health anxiety. Im still trying to talk myself out of having a brain tumor.

Yes! Anxiety can do all sorts of weird things. Blood Pressure changes and jaw clenching can have an affect on ears to name a few.....

Hi Slammysammy, I hear you literally with that stuffed up fullness in the ears.

I was told by my therapist in how to release that feeling within moments.

Since there are muscles down the ear canal that can get tight from anxiety as well

as jaw clenching (as LulaBeth stated)....the muscles can be released by taking your

index fingers and placing each one at the top of the inside of the ear. Then gently

pull up the ear for a few seconds. It should feel better immediately as it relaxes the inner ear muscles. Hope this works for you xx

I've had that feeling before, happens randomly, yawning usually helps to relieve it. I have that issue sometimes also ! You'll be good

I agree with others that you should think of more simple and common causes, such as ear wax; you could try a few drops of warm olive oil in the affected ear overnight, and see if that improves things after a few days. Ear wax can cause all sorts of strange feelings in the ear, including dizziness if it comes into contact with the eardrum.
