Does anyone have any weird feelings with their ears when they have panic attacks? My ears have felt like they need to be popped, but they won't...and it sometimes feels like there is liquid inside, these symptoms seem to get worse with my panic attacks. HELP!? Advice? I am going to an ENT in a month.

" you may have a real ear problem, ask doc about it
panic attacks seem to make all other problems seem worse, pinch nostrils and try to breathe in and out

remember deep slow breathing will help during panic attacks "

" I have this alot with anxiety. Also under my ears (i am not sure if they are glands or what) will feel hard and swelled and make my throat feel like it may be swelled also. Which it isn't. I have had many doctors visits for this and they can't find anything wrong. It was suggested that maybe it was from grinding my teeth or clenching my jaw from the anxiety. I definately do not notice it as much unless I am stressed out or have anxiety. "

" I get this too! I was born with Cleft lip and palate and that has some to do with it. I do know that anxiety causes it a lot. Not just that but I two will get that swollen neck feeling. Its all very annoying! Not to mention scary!

Glad to know I'm not alone with this! "
