Head pressure and tinnitus going on for a month, i don't know what to do anymore?

Hi all,

I'm a 30 years old male, who has the last 3 months really weird symptoms that are not going away.

Before i start with my story i need to tell you that I'm taking anti depressants and anti psychotics for the last 2 years.

3 months ago i started to have chest pain, most exactly on my right side, the pain was persistent for 2 weeks after i decided to go to the doctor. After doing every test (EKG, X-Ray of chest, blood pressure, blood tests, urine tests) everything came normal, i am on the paper perfectly healthy.

The doctor said it's probably from the depression and i should talk with my shrink. I went to my shrink and he just said i should take 40 mg of citalopram instead of the 20 mg i was taking. So i did, and the pain in my chest did go away.

After that i started to increase citalopram from 20 mg to 30 mg for a week, then i started to have a headache for a week and i got blurry vision if i was looking at bright lights in the night. For example i would feel really sensitive about lights in the supermarkets. I go immediately to my doctor where she said i should check up my eyes because it's maybe because of that that i have headaches and blurry vision. So i go to the ophthalmologist and they do their tests, and the result came totally fine, my eyes and vision is in perfect condition.

So after that the headache goes away but a mild pressure in my head stays and is persistent. With that i got buzzing in my right ear, like a tinnitus. For a few days i also head totally foggy brain and it was really horrible.

The fogginess went away after few days, but the mild head pressure and tinnitus stayed. After 2 days later i got morning anxiety, something that i never had and it went sometimes over the whole day, sometimes just in the morning. The anxiety went away, but the other symptoms stayed.

So now after a month i still have this mild pressure in my head and buzzing in my right ear. I was again at my doctor, she said it's psychological and doesn't want to send me to any other tests.

What i found out is when i drink 1-2 beers my pressure in my head goes away, but drinking alcohol is not the answer for my pain. Over the weekends when i sleep well and have no work pressure i don't feel the pressure.

Did anybody had similar problems or anything like that? Will i find a cure for my pain?
