I'm almost scared to post this in case someone says something scary!
I've had congestion in my nose, ears and head for a while. It started when my hearing got a bit worse, then one ear really bad. I have seen an ent specialist and my own doctor (sure it was a tumour) and neither is worried. I've had hearing tests etc. The sprays they gave me haven't worked and doctor says if not, I have to go back to the ent specialist. I panicked and said 'Is that because it means it's serious?' but he said 'No, just because she'll want to try something else.'
However, my anxiety has gone sky high. My nose is always blocked, my ears squelch when I swallow, my head feels full of wool and I have a ringing sound. Now I can't focus on anything else, and everytime I do, I get a surge of adrenaline, and feel anxious all day.
Anyone have anything reassuring to say? I know the anxiety is useless and that 'thoughts and feelings aren't fact' but the anxiety is ruining my days.
