Ear problems setting off my anxiety

I posted this in the allergy forum also because someone told me that the two could be related but I know you guys can understand the anxiety that its causing me. Lately I have been having issues with my ears . I have this fullness and pressure in both ears especially the right. I try swallowing yawning and chewing gum but they rarely help. last summer I went to the ER because i had this rumbling sound in my ears the ER doc found nothing wrong and aside from the occasional ringing and fullness/ clogged feeling they havent bothered me until now. I do have nasal allergies and I get headaches sometimes so Im wondering if they are all related. I see my doc tomorrow and Im hoping he can shed some light on this issue. Of course I cant stop thinking that I have some serious underlying issue and Im terrified. Has anyone here experienced any ear issues? I also have chronic back pain probably due to that the fact that I slouch when sitting and I clench my teeth at night and sometimes during the day wihtout even realizing...I just hope that maybe the ear issue is caused by the allergies or teeth clenching as well as the headaches.

Thanks SC you made me feel better. I will keep you posted.

I have ear problems too. Constant ringing and a crackling sound when I swallow. I am always bothered by not being able to hear as well.

Yes, I think this can connect to anxiety. When our body feels different we have to adjust to that new feeling and I just can't do that very fast.

I also have eyesight problems and that to me makes anxiety worse.

Thanks guys.... Larry I feel that way also. I wake up fine then by the time I get up and get the kids to school then come home to do whatever needs to be done it hits me then all I can do is lie down and of course nothing gets done. I woke up this morning to more snow so it looks like I might have to reschedule my appointment.
