Tinnitus Forum - Mytinnitus

just wondering if anybody else has had this link.

when i was 17 i experienced my first panic attack, then a period of say 6 months of regular attacks. I remember noticing a ringing in my ears, but im 35 now & cant remember how much I worried about it & it certainly dissappeared.

Just before xmas I started having severe panic attacks / being very anxious 24/7, sometimes waking up with an attack.

During one of these times I noticed a constant ringing in both ears. and it hasnt gone away. (approx 3 months ago)

Managed to get some propranolol from the GP for the panicks which is extremely helpful even at very low doses, but the ringing is there....not that loud.... & once im up & about sometimes not noticable (i realise im very lucky in that respect).

Just at bedtime now without any alcohol /environmental noise etc (im stopping cos of the T) its noticable and hard to sleep.

I do have some valium, but dont want to take these unless I have to and I dont want to have to drink to get myself off 2 sleep.

i suppose an hours running does help....i just feel 2 tired cos im not sleeping as well. vicious circle etc etc.......

Im also worried because I make music on my computer & dont know if I should completely give up or what? Music sessions seem to aggrevate it a little but it seems back to what it was the next day.....my monitors do have a very sharp hi end maybe i should move them/go back to my hifi speakers.... I just dont know.

anyway thats my story.....all the best 2 everyone.

Tim.
