Hello everyone,
Thank you to you all for you kind words when I posted before re my health anxiety. It really helped.
My palpitiations and general anxiety seem to be decreasing, but one symptom that seems to be dragging on is this odd feeling in my head and ears, almost as if there is pressure building up there. If I yawn, or sort of stretch my jaw, my ears pop, but it is only a short time before the pressure builds again. It can make me feel a bit sort of lightheaded sometimes. Strangely, when I wake up in the morning, it is fine, it then builds up during the day, and is at its worst in the evening.
I have been seen by an ENT doc, he said there is no problem with my ears after some tests (I and my GP suspected labyrinthitis or similar).
Someone has told me of problems with the neck muscles which can cause these types of symptoms...I know I suffer from terrible tension in my neck sometimes which can be incredibly painful. Does anyone have any opinion on this? I would be really grateful for any thoughts....now I have the anxiety on its way, I hate having this lingering on! I want to feel one hundred percent again!!!
Many thanks.
