Where Did My Tinnitus Come From? Thx

[Klem68]

Hello all!
My story started almost 3 weeks ago. Before my T(?) began my face was blushy red at times. Then a few weeks later, I have to say a had a very stressful day. Then once I layed in bed it started .. I had a panic attack pretty sure ( heart was pounding and I was shaking). The next few days it was only in affect when I layed my head down (silence was ok). I went to my doctor to get my ears cleaned (wax has been an issue in the past) and after that it was constant... 3 weeks later it really only bothers me bad when its silent.. Is this T? I'm 23yrsO blood pressure is at 140/60 kinda high for my age
Thank you!!

Welcome to Tinnitus Talk klem68.
It does sound like tinnitus and BP can cause tinnitus and make it louder...lots of love glynis

Living with T, the more positive we are, the less stress and anxiety T can bring, and which is bad for T. So if your T can only bother you or be heard in silence, try to count that as a positive. Your brain will react based on how you think about T. The less it feels it is a threat, the more it can fade out T when you are distracted. Wish you well. God bless.
