buzzing in ears. why?

[sair5412]

Last night i cried more or less constantly for about 4 hours due to my depression. However, i am ok today but my eyelids are purple and i have a strange buzzing/popping in my left ear. It's like when you are in a car and you put your window down slightly and the air catches and makes a funny deafening noise. I am feeling really sensitive to any noise today as this buzzing is surrounding it. I am also feeling quite dizzy (which i know is linked with your ears.) Does anyone know what has caused it and how to stop it? Thanks

It sounds like tinnitus, which is the medial term for "hearing" noises in your ears when there is no outside source of the sounds. It is very common and mostly goes away after a short while. Tinnitus may occur with hearing loss. Occasionally, it is a sign of high blood pressure, an allergy, or anemia.

Since your ear noises are prolonged and combined with other symptoms (dizziness) you would be advised to get yourself checked over by your GP.

Thank you for your advice Octavious.

Probably due to clogged sinuses from all the crying and mucous making.

Should be better soon. Drink lots of fluids in the meantime.

[sair5412]

thanks Ethel. I will do.

sair im sorry to hear you were distressed yesterday, im happy you seem better today.

[sair5412]

Thank you for your kind words crete.

I am going to try and get out and go for a walk now but motivation is quite low!

sair, the sun is shining and you are aware a walk will be of benefit to you , but i know it takes a lot of effort but go out, even a few minutes will be good, be well

[sair5412]

Well, I have been on my walk and feel a bit better. I live in a lovely area of the countryside and i sat on top of one of the hills and looked at the scenery and i don't know whether it was the fresh air but i have really shocked myself because i came up with this poem (never written a poem in my life!) which describes my battle with depression:

I was looking but i couldn't see, the beauty that surrounded me. Calm and peace stretched far and wide, yet hurt and
anger still inside.

Mountains standing tall and strong as i ask myself what could be wrong. Distant sounds float past me now, but nothing tells me why or how.

I sit beneath this clear blue sky, alone, confused and want to cry. Hikers come and see me there, I hope to God that they won't stare. I force a smile and say hello, they smile back too and then they go.

The tears that fall don't wash away the pain inside my heart today. I tell myself I will be strong, this cloud will go and I'll carry on.

I lift my head and wipe my tears, inhale and breathe away my fears. I look around and now I see, the beauty that's surrounding me.

Very nice, sair. Sounds like the beauty is also inside you.

[sair5412]

I'm blushing now!

[chitchat]

Ahh Sair thats a lovely poem. I hope you are feeling better. I know a lovely sunny day cheers me up no end. Have a great Easter x

[curlyperm]

lovely poem! you should compose more, maybe its a way of getting things out instead of bottleing things up??
Hope you have a stress free weekend xx

[crete]

sair . lovely poem, so glad you went for a walk,

[ReinaLuna]

woooow Sair that poem was so beautiful!!!
You might have a big talent and you never knew it before? you see, many of the famous painters, writers, and people related to art in general, had very depressive parts of their lives. Maybe because they were so sensitive that their souls would suffer to things that most of society is already used to/conformed with...

I've had depressive phases in my life, and although I never took medication for that, I was always capable to get out after some time. Right now I tend to get sad because of loneliness and the challenges of living in a foreign country, but I share my doubts and pains and people make me feel better with their different rich opinions.
You certainly need motivation and lots of support.

Living nowadays can get complicated, really, our world is a bit crazy, but hey! As you saw, the sun still shines, and deep inside I think you know you can (and will be) happy!! :o)
If you need help, here we are, or I shall say, here I am!

Anyway, is your dizziness and the buzzing better? I thought it could be labyrintitis? (hmm don't know if the spelling is right here...) but probably is more related to your crying, like Octavius and Ethel said...
Let us know!
Happy Easter (or pesach or holidays) for you :o)
