Ear ringing, ear pains?

[lonelykatana]

Just to let you know, I am suffering from Depression and Anxiety (which seems to have manifested into HA, I am convinced I have a brain tumour :weep:)

I've been suffering with the usual headaches caused by anxiety, stiff neck ect. I wont go into that now, or I will just get my self into the whole 'I have a brain tumour' frame of mind, which I have slowly been coming out of, thankfully. I should bloody well be out with my friends having a good time, not worrying about death at 18 years old.

So recently, I have been getting dull pain, almost a 'full' feeling in my cheeks. It stings very slightly when I breath through my nose.
In addition, I have been getting short bursts of earache.
But the worrying thing, recently I have noticed I have been getting tinnitus. My ears (mostly the left, but occasionally the right) have been almost phasing out, giving me a dull sense of sound which is replaced by a high pitched ringing lasting 10/15 seconds and then leaves.

Do you reckon this is some sort of sinus problem? Ill be heading to the docs on monday. But for now, I need to be reassured its not a bloody brain tumour again. ..

It could be that your ears are blocked by wax, the ear noises are very often caused by that, or even might be to do with the sinuses. Either way a doctor will be able to tell you on Monday. Please don't worry too much about it, I have to have my left ear syringed every year, but the other ear never needs doing - :D

I'll second that! Almost certainly down to ear wax as I had a similar problem recently. Didn't realise how deaf I'd gone until I had them syringed..... what a difference!
