Tinnitus, Possibly - Right Ear / Movement Issues After Strange Experience

Hi All!

27 years old from Pennsylvania. Several weeks ago I had a very frightening experience. Not sure what happened, but I started getting really dizzy, lightheaded, felt strange and then all of a sudden I felt as if I was going to go unconcious/die or like my energy was going to leave my body. It was really scary, and during that time it was extreme terror, I literally held onto the corner of the wall and stated screaming, holding on, hoping that I wouldn't die. Don't know what in the world happened.

Then once I got over that experience and a few similar, not nearly as bad, I started noticing this high pitched frequency sound in my ears. I'm not sure how to describe it, could be like a ringing, but high pitched frequency is the only way I can describe it. It was somewhat in both ears, but now is primarily in the right. Have some sinus congestion and did have some issues with my ears feeling like they were clogged up or congested. This usually happens around this time of year that I get something innner ear related. Can't really hear completely out of either one, at first it was mostly just a feeling of like being under water, but now as I said it's more just the high pitched frequency in my right ear, though it does seem to feel blocked up too.

Used to get ear infections all the time as a kid, and man they were painful!

Also recently have not been having bowel movements as regularly (usually am regular with 3 times a day, been only going like 1 time a day and not everyday, which is totally not like me), so something liver too I think might be involved. Liver congestion. A little bit of yellow on the tongue, not a lot. But a little patch toward the back. Have had trouble sleeping for the past 3 months and there for awhile was not getting to bed before 5:00 even if I went to bed as early as 10:30. Then doing some herbs and liver cleanses, it dropped to after 3:00 that I could sleep (classic liver time: 1 oclock to 3 oclcock).

Vision is a BIT blurry, but nothing major (again, liver related as they rule the eyes).

Something else odd is that when laying in bed, if I have my eyes closed (generally I lay on my stomach to sleep. Usually can't sleep if I don't), and when my eyes are closed it feels like my energy is moving around, almost like the bed is moving up and down like a see-saw, but when I open my eyes of course I can see that my body is staying still. And even sometimes during the day, I feel like my energy in my body is moving all around, but I'm staying physically where I am. I don't really feel grounded in my body, or like all my energy is not really with me or something. Sometimes I also feel something in my forehead, like that's where my consciousness is, and like I'm either going to lose it, it's going to leave me, or that I won't have control over it or something. It's so so strange.

Also before the tinnitus began it was like my brain wouldn't shut off, like I was stuck in HYPERDRIVE. Even the slightest noise would scare me and I would jump, like cars driving by on the road outside could frighten me if I didn't see it coming by the house. Just very scared, frightened, fearful (KIDNEYS - Fear).

Also this is already my bad time of the year, summer, because I'm always weaker, more tired, depressed etc in summer. Winter is my better time, where I feel more energetic, more healthy, not tired all the time, happier.

Prior to all this, I had taken Nux Vomica 200c (One dose) and then Carbo Veg 1,000c as recommended by a homeopathic practitioner, and I almost wonder if my liver symptoms didn't get worse from that (was recommended for my chronic pain that I have, but right now I dodn't even care about the chronic pain. These latest issues are interfering with me being able to function normally.

If anybody has any thoughts, would certainly appreciate it!

Thanks so much!

Steve

P.S. Sabra - Had tried the Natrum Selenicum 1M too, a bout a month before this, and started getting a lot of sinus issues after that. Mostly the sinus issues/congestion - are worse in the morning. But definitely feel it now. The nasal issues and ear issues my whole life have always been related too.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Tinnitus is the normal noises of the body operating and we normally learn at a very early age to ignore/block them out.

In later life some trauma may mean that these noises become audible again.

Are you blonde , dislike wearing wollen garments. It may be that pulsatilla would help-- check it out.
The states you describe show strongly under Cannabis , have you used this material?.

Hi Walkin,

Thanks for your reply. No, have never used any drugs (cannabis) of any kind, don't even take doctor prescribed drugs, cause I try to do everything naturally.

I am pale complected, light brown hair, blue eyes, don't necessarily dislike wearing wollen garments, no.

Some abdominal bloating too, though not as much. Have had some issues with blood sugar too in the past. Also it seemed like I could never get enough water, like I woudln't normally drink that much, but no matter how much I would drink I would just pee it out right away and would feel dehydrated.

Thanks for the help!

What 'issues' with sugar --- hypo or hyper glycaemia. Could poss point to Phos -- check it out.
 
walkin last decade
Not medically diagnosed, (have had my blood sugar levels checked though with nutritionist - R.N.) and it's usually low - Hypoglycemia. Have family history of diabetes. Also have been told numerous times through different practitioners and my own research that there seems to be some issue with sugar/carbohydrage metabolism in my body. Anabolism - body is not storing energy (metabolic) - Glycogen/Glucogen Processing in the liver. I seem to have issues though with Roller Coaster type blood sugar where I have to eat something and that brings my level back up, but then I can have issues again even 20 minutes later after I've just eaten.

Also had some episodes with high blood pressure right before all this began as well, and it's not typical of me to have high blood pressure. Usually I'm at like 120/70 and I think I was 130/90 or something.

Also was on high dose Accutane (vitamin a) years back for Acne and even before this I had issues with liver, if I had known back then what I know now, would never have gone on the accutane, cause my acne I'm sure was already liver related. Sometimes in summer would get a tinge of red in my hair. Am prone at times to outbursts/rage. Not often though.

I know nothing about Homeopathy, but I totally understand your experience. Some years ago, I had, for several times, feelings like the ones you described: dizziness, feeling spaced out and light-headed, and at the verge of… well, it could be either death or unconsciousness, as you say. I was in panic, and had to move very quickly, talk to people, eat or drink water, in order to feel “grounded” again. These spells eventually took me to he emergency room, for three times. The first two times, I was pre-diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis), and sent for more exams. Thankfully, the neurological examination and the MRI were normal, so the MS was excluded. In the third time I went to the hospital, however, the first doctor that examined me was also a psychologist, and this time I was diagnosed as having a panic attack. Latter on, I got to meet more people who had experienced panic attacks, and believe me; we all talk the same language. My panic attacks were over when I got to resolve some pendent issues in my life, thought I still experienced a mild one last year, after being told that a close friend of mine had just delivered a very premature baby. But, by then, I already knew what was it about. Maybe you could check for “panic attack” in the internet?

The reddish tint to the hair and the panic could point to Phos or if a fear of dogs is poss then look at Tuberculinum.

Silvia thanks so much for sharing your experiences, appreciate it :)

Walkin, thanks for the suggestions and yes, have always had a fear of dogs, very funny you should mention that!

Hi,before you start of with tuberculinum, suggest take a dose of Aconite 200, 1 dose, for the panic attack with fear of death. Aconite has been used to cure such attacks even if they happened a long time ago. many of the symptoms might get cleared up after taking Aconite , giving a clearer picture of which remedy to be given based on your constitution- in your case Phos or Tuberculinum

forgot to add that aconite is ususally given for sudden attacks (which you mention as first thing while describing your symptoms).

For Tinnitus Only

Need a bottle of tonic water (Quonine Soda).

Add about 3 drops of it in a regular mineral water bottle and take two drops twice a day just as a homeopathy medicine.

Or you can purchase Chininum Sulphuricum 6X. which is same as Tonic water.

Steve,

I have exactly the same symptoms (tinnitus, bloating, a "sound" to the body, near-fainting, etc.), but I don't believe it is a panic attack at all. I'm the least panicky person you'll ever meet. However, it does sound autoimmune, hypertensive or blood sugar. I'd get a thyroid panel, fasting glucose, and any other autoimmune-testing labs your doctor may suggest. Most doctors immediately assume MS for labyrinthitis (dizziness), but on other diagnostics, it rarely turns out to be that.

I'm still solving my own symptoms, which may be thyroid, may be hypoglycemia or even Syndrome X insulin resistance (type 1). I experience my "episodes" in the early evening usually. I'm seeing a doctor in a couple of weeks to discuss...
