Ear ache

[Natalie1982]

Hi i suffer with anxiety and panic attacks and have over the last 4 days felt my hearing and ears become almost full or little blocked where i feel the need to pop them. Sound can also feel loud and uncomfortable at times. There isnt any pain but but feels uncomfortable and odd.

Are you feeling stress?

[Natalie1982]

Hi, not ovey stressed but anxious frequently.

[JW621 in reply to Natalie1982]

What are you anxious about?

[Natalie1982 in reply to JW621]

Health more than anything. They symptoms i have to accompany the recent anxiety panic me into thinking they're more than the effects of anxiety.

Do you have any methods of distraction

[Natalie1982 in reply to JW621]

My children lol, and im trying to keep busy and get some fresh air exercising when the weathers okay. This does help in fairness. Sometimes it just comes over me like a wave.

Have you ever just stretched and take a breath for 10 seconds

[Natalie1982 in reply to JW621]

I have been doing breathing exercises which help short term for me. Then my worries come flooding back when i get an ache.

We all have our moments. How can I help

This is what I have been experiencing lately plus more. It just comes and goes.

Goes away only when I sleep. So I sleep a lot feel a bit better.

Just gotta learn to deal with it, but there is help out there and we are not the only ones.

Just gotta find the right help.

Hope you feel better
