Bit of a mixed bag really - ears/head/sleep....

[angie3077]

Hi, I have not been on here for a while as thought I was doing quite well, although now I am not so sure!
So, I have had this constant noise in my right ear now for a couple of weeks, the only way I can describle the noise is to that of a aeroplane in the distance or like an open fridge?? its not a ringing noise and I have also got some pain. It is driving me insane and I am thinking all sorts is wrong with me, the main one being my blood pressure is high and I am going to burst an artery or something! as I am thinking this is what the noise is? I had my ears checked by the nurse and he said that my left ear was really blocked but my right ear (the one that is playing up) looks fine!:wacko: I mentioned the blood pressure thing and he just dismissed it. Well now to top it off I fell asleep with my son earlier and I woke suddenly to find myself paralized for what felt like a minute or so - scared me out of my mind and I am thinking maybe all these symtoms are linked? The ear noise/pain, head pressure, sleep paralysis? What if something is really wrong inside my head or something, I keep thinking that the sleep paralysis was maybe a mini stroke or something. I am soooo scared. Any comments will be appreciated

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for your reply! I will perhaps call my GP tomorrow, again! also the thought of going to the docs and them telling me something bad terrifires me....vicious cycle really! noise still in ear and I am dreading going to bed tonight in case that paralysis thing happens again!:weep:

the fact your other ear is blocked up can certainly make your 'good' ear seems more sensitive and aware of noises. I used to suffer thi sall the time and drove me nuts but it was anxiety and it will go even now when I get stressed it will come back for a while.

Hey - yes that does make sense, never thought about it that way. Still playing up and now getting other symptoms but I know they are down to me getting worked up! Thank you for that xx
