    anxiety can cause hundreds of different symptoms including the sensations you’re having. I have also had those and the weird ear noises. i’ve had the tight head feeling which seems to occur at the same time I get the ear sensations. Sometimes right when my head gets tight, I can’t think straight for a few seconds. It’s weird but I’ve had MRI of the head which shows normal.

    so you are definitely not alone.

    The worst thing I can do is get worked up about it because then it’s worse. So I just go on with my life and stick to my exercise and yoga routine which has been helping. I need to keep busy otherwise I think too much.

    I am sorry you are going through this.

    Anxiety is definitely a curse and not understood by so many people who don’t have it. I hope you feel better ❤

      Jan do u think because of the mri its definetly not cauda.equina.syndrome. even though I had the mri about 2 months ago. and experiencing symptoms again.

      I'm also terrified of blood clots because of the feeling of passing out. xx

      me and you share a lot of the same symptoms. im also very worried i have a blood clot. my leg aches. i have shortness of breath and i feel like im going to pass out. do you have a pain between your sping and left shoulder. it radiates to my chest. also my left arm aches. the said it was probably from holding baby. it hurts.

      i’m sure it would have shown up on the MRI. I’m not sure what other test can be done to diagnose that.

      i know that intense anxiety and Panic can cause a person to feel like they could pass out.you’d have to go through a lot more testing to check for blood clot‘s most likely. I really doubt it’s that. it’s very frustrating having all these symptoms when nothing can be found.
