Hi Doc,
I have t. I started feeling my symptoms 2 weeks ago after a rock concert. My ears rang that night when I went to bed, pretty normal for after a live concert, but then the high pitch ringing never turned off. A few days later I was doing some tests on myself and realized it's only in the right ear. It's not pulsating, it's constant. It's a high eeeeeee pitch sound, rather than the low tone in both ears that I think everyone has at some point.
Before the t onset, I was experiencing auto-phony symptoms or vibrations from my voice and certain sounds in my right ear. I feel like I have a stuffiness in the right ear, as well. I'm always pinching my nose and blowing lightly to try and clear whatever it is. I hope to god it's wax build up, infection or high anxiety.
I have dealt with all sorts of high anxiety my whole life, unfortunately due to substance abuse (marijuana)
I can't help to fear the worst that I may be losing my hearing, I have a tumor or this is a first stage to M.S.
I cut out the marijuana and caffeine, started jogging and have been eating healthy. I have always been an avid exerciser. Snowboarding, basketball, tennis and jogging. Pretty healthy diet as well, take my vitamins and eat my greens daily. I have been smoking marijuana for the past 12 years everyday, so I really hope it's high anxiety and possible onset symptoms of PAWS. Post acute withdrawal symptom. The t started about 7 days after I cut down about 90% of my marijuana intake.
Im really scared I have went against what my body has been screaming at me for the past 6 years or so to stop smoking marijuana, but I continued to use it as a crutch, which brings me to this point in time where I never felt so terrible in my life with my denial about what health issues I could be developing.
I have my first ent appointment next Tuesday, and I really want an MRI and CT scan.
What are the chances I could have these worst case scenarios with the background info and symptoms I have shared with you? Could I have damaged some of my nerves with habitual marijuana abuse?
No headaches, no dizziness or vision issues, no physical pain.
I started taking my Zoloft the other day, hoping re balancing my serotonin level will kill the t. So far it's stayed the same. I know it's not my mind playing tricks on me because it's so darn loud when I lay down at night to go to bed. I've never had an issue like this. Of course I turn on the fan and put on my nature sounds and I'm fine, it's just devastatingly depressing and scary.
Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you Doc -
Chris
