Anyone know anything about this?
THe other day, I was in the shower and it felt like I got water in my ear, only I couldn't clear it out like normal. It went away without me really noticing when but, the next day, I started getting very weird tinnutis. It is like there is a jackhammer pounding in my ear, not very loud, but constant bumbumbumbumbum. It has happened several more times over the past few days, pretty random, and it can last like 5 seconds to about 30 seconds. Then, it goes away.
Quite honestly, I do not have the energy to deal with this anymore. I have been incredibly stressed since June, when docs thought it possible I had sarcoma (I didn't). During the sarcoma testing, I developed a persistent cough (for the fourth time in a year), wheezing, etc that I of course imagined was metastatic sarcoma. I finally got referred to a pulmonologist, who diagnosed asthma, and things did get better for me until about 5 weeks ago when I developed chest pains, believed to be pleurisy. Because I had a good xray, my GP didn't really follow up on the pleurisy, and it has lasted really long, I still have it kind of (although it has diminished). The pleurisy, of course, resurfaced all the lung cancer worry, but I had basically gotten it under control, getting back to a default state of feeling like I am healthy....and now the ear!!!!
I am honestly not worried about it. I am more angry than anything. I am losing my patience for symptom after symptom.
Now that that's off my chest- has anyone had this bizarre kind of tinnitus (not the humming kind but like a jackhammer kind) and have it be ANXIETY. I am really hoping it is just anxiety but the googling I did says, you really need to get this kind of tinnitus checked out since it can be caused by some bad stuff. I know I have to get it checked, but I really just want to write it off as anxiety.
