Ringing in head

[brownskinsuga]

Hi everyone, this started after my son was born where at first i would feel a pressure at the back of my head and have hot flushes to the point where i thought i was going to pass out, though i have never had fits in my life it just felt like my body was getting ready to jerk or convulse, i went to the octors had an MRI EEG CT scan Heart Scan , blood tests done and all that came back normal with the conclusion that i might have anxiety. after a while the pressure at the back of my head eased of but now evrytime i am about to sleep i feel like im falling, so i try to change position and i feel as if im trembling inside out, at times i have a ringing that sounds like its a fire alarm(nnot as loud) mostly concerntrated on the left side of my head. while this ringing is happening it i feel a pressure in my nose like its getting blocked and feel drained of energy till it stops which is after a few seconds and then i feel fine afterwards, my family tells me im being silly but this is scaring me especially when doctors cannot find anything wrong

Hi brownskinsuga, how are you and how is your son? Post partum hormonal changes might have caused you the initial symptoms. Also you might be having vascular headaches and probably benign positional vertigo wherein you feel a sudden sensation of movement or spinning when you move your head or hold it in a certain position associated with tinnitus. The stress you are undergoing with probable sleep deprivation and caring your son might be causing you the chronic fatigue. You need to consult a ENT doctor and get evaluated. Take care.

Hi brownskinsuga, how are you doing? Thanks for your reply. Are you feeling better of your headaches now? I do feel you might have tension headaches and upper neck muscle pull which are common. Is your blood pressure under control and did you face any complications while delivery? Post delivery stress and caring for baby can certainly make you tired and feel run down state. Try to relax and have more liquids and nutritious diet. A daytime nap is more helpful. Hope you might have consulted your doctor. Update on your progress and take care.

i have been to the doctor, they think either i am having panic attacks because i am worried about whats happening to me as i sleep, strangely enough its only when i am about to sleep or about to wake up coz i open my eyes, i am aware of whats around me, my nose feels stuffy and for a few seconds it just feels like my vision or whatever i am looking it is vibrating and the top half of my body too. and i feel so drained of energy...i dont know...its confusing coz once im fully awake its like i feel ok.... i have two weeks off work , i got a nanny and i am going to have some me time, go swimming cycling (weather permitting) and just try and relax and re-evaluate my life, also i am hoping that when i see the doctoe tomorrow we can arrange the neurologist appointment and an appointment to see an ENT

Hi brownskinsuga, how are you doing now? Thanks for your ongoing updates. It is a good idea to have thought of to consult a neurologist and discuss the issue completely. I feel you may even ask him for getting done a sleep study as well; it could also be sleep paralysis that’s troubling you. Yes it is good to have someone’s help, as it might be too tiring and stressful in doing all the work and taking care of baby as well. Try to relax, keep bit physically active and drink lot of water. Are you feeling better with your headaches? Do update on your doctor advice. Take care.

hi everyone

well the ringing in my ear still continues....but its not as bad. its tinnitus and it does make you feel anxious and depressed as you panic that there is something dangerously wrong with you. anyway the headeaches are better but now i have a feeling of slight numbness the size of a 10pence coin on the left side off my brain in line with the back of my ear and jaw. sometimes the left side starting from the numbness feels like its tightning then it releases leaving me with a tingling cold sensation like a cold shiver running down the left side off my face and my back and i feel my nose tightneningas well.afterwards it feels like i have a million tiny hot needles pricking the middle off my brain and feel like im going to have ***** sometimes nausea.and i feel so restless after as i start to worry that i am going to have a seizure(have never had one in my life) or am going to fall and embarass my self. somwtimes i even find myself visioning the seizure.and worrying that i am on my own in a crowd and someone will take my purse or something and my son will have no one watching over him and i feel like a bad mum. crazy.. i have found this happens when i have to meet up with friends in social enviroments or go somewhere. or when im angry get excited or nervous ...like the other day when there was a fire alarm at work. for a minute i just felt like i was walking on marshmellows. the other day at the gym my trainer said my bp after exercise was low.im going to see a neuro pyschiatrist. i want to put an end to this and get on with my life. im even scared to drive.all this started after my son was born when he was about three months old. sometimes i feel like something went wrong during labour ....i dont know...help
