lightheaded and plugged ears Posted: 02-08-08 12:58pm
Hello,
I am 25 years old, Back about 2-3 years
ago, I was diagnosed with having an
anxiety disorder and was put on medication
for about 1 1/2 years. I used to have full
blown axiety attacks.
My concern right now is i'm receiving
certain symptoms that i'm worried are not
anxiety this time. In November I started
waking up in the morning and felt off
balance/light headed, and went away within
an hour. After 1 week the off
balance/light headed feeling went away.
Beginning of January this feeling came
back only after waking up in the mornings,
then closer to the end of January it now
has progressed to being off and on during
the day, I also now have constant plugged
ears that I can keep popping. When I try
to fall asleep I hear static and a faint
ringing, but not during the day unless
everything is quite. I continue having
trouble falling asleep and sometimes can
go without sleep for a whole night, when I
try to fall asleep i'm awakened by a Jolt,
and if I do fall asleep and wake up I see
flashing colors for about 3 seconds and
lots of static vision for about 30
seconds. My vision during the day doesn't
seam as crisp as it was couple weeks ago.
Any insight on this would be appreciated,
I%u2019m worried this is leading to a
serious issue like brain cancer and don't
want to just write it off as Anxiety.
Doesn't anxiety symptoms come and go and
aren%u2019t constant? Thanks

I'n not a doctor, but... Posted: 02-14-08 05:00am
sounds a bit like an ear infection
(plugged ears coming from fluid buildup),
dizzieness from the inner ear (that#s
where our sense of balance comes from).
Lightheadedness could also come from an
ear infection, or maybe low-blood
pressure.
could be caused by a lot of different
things. the only one that can help you is
a visit to qualified doctor.
