ear trouble

[howhardisthis]

Here I am yet again with another question someone might be able to help me with...I have a funny sensation in my ears like ive driven up a hill and they need to be popped its making me a little dizzy im not wanting to panic about this as I have had a really good day today.  I actually got out of the house and walked around our local park which is a huge step for me to take.  The ear thing is worrying me though i have no water in them is this just another symptom of anxiety or do you think it could be something else...Probably just a silly question but dont want to keep going to the doctors.  Ive tried popping my ears but I cant.....

I have been having the same problem lately. It drives me crazy. I will be sitting watching tv or visiting with someone and all of a sudden my ears feel plugged and feel like I  need to pop them but I cant. I don't know what its from but it sure is annoying!!!! So you are not alone.

This is anxiety for sure. I have the same problem. It is nothing harmful to your body just a reaction to the anxiety. Even though you had a good day you still have GAD and will have underlying anxiety that will continue to cause problems until you get it all under control. copy and paste this ling it tells you about all the symptoms of anxiety and hearing problems is on there.

Don't worry and try not to think about or it will just get worse and you will have a panic attack.

Yep, could be anxiety.  There is nothing to worry about if it's not anxiety though.  Worst case scenario - you have some allergies or sinus problems during the time your ears feel plugged.  That's worst case! My ears have been doing this and I work in an ear, nose throat clinic - so I know I'm fine b/c I get my ears checked any time it happens.  Sometimes my sinuses get all crazy and my ears stop up, ring, etc.  Believe me, it's common.  Hope that helps:)
