Health Anxiety - ringing in ears
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hey lovely peeps,
Just me again 😊
So... Im doing ok with my health anxiety though I have 2 new symptoms. I haven't had an anxiety attack over them which is great but need work on controlling my thoughts over them. You know, the ones that tell me I'm going to have it forever, what if it gets worse, could it be from an underlining health problem? bla bla bla!
The 2 new symptoms are:
Ringing in the ears
Muscle twitching in the right thigh
Im not sure if ringing in the ears are due to the medication and I dont want to change because its working but I dont want it to get worse.
Muscle twitch... well... might just be the anxiety but I have only had it for a day so far. Its a constant twitch and I can even see the muscle move.
Does anyone else experience this with their anxiety? Im sure it will pass like all the others or I'll get use to it but would love to hear from you.
P.s. trying to stay away from Dr Google 😟

When you say ringing in your ear
With me it don't happen every minute of the day but every so often
Its almost like a high pitch sound in my left ear sometimes the right also like its in my brain its a weird feeling and i actually hear the high pitch very loud but then it goes away .

Its a constant dull ringing in the head. I had tinnitus in the right ear before all of this anxiety but it was more of a humming noise, not ringing.
Funny enough, the humming noise has almost dissapeared after 12 months of having it but just recently the ringing in my head has become more noticable.

Do not fear m'dear.
My ring if in ears started when my derealisation started which is when my anxiety started. It comes and goes but stays when I'm partcurly anxious.
As for twitching, this is classic anxiety I've had twitching in the thigh, arms, legs, chest is the worst cause it feels like you're heart.
It's all anxiety so don't you worry

I figured the twitching was from anxiety... damit! 😕
I think the ringing in the ears are more noticable because Im focusing in on it. Its funny, when I get over one symptom I seem to replace it with a new one. Its like my body wants to keep telling me that the anxiety is still there!
So frustrating.

We need to trick the brain 🤔 I guess that is what cbt does in some way.

The symptoms are endless for anxiety especially health anxiety and that's the reason we suffer with it.
The ear ringing is hard to ignore anyways as its constantly there but you won't notice it if you keep busy. I don't have it today thank God but it'll probably be back tomorrow!
The worst things I suffer with are derealisation (the King of anxiety symptoms) and floaters in my vision. I wish they go away already!

He said over time, you don't notice them or it doesn't bother you as much. He is my rock and puts everything in perspective. Im very lucky to have such a wonderful, supportive partner 😊
