Hi I'm new here. I've reading the threads, & I feel relived other people get panic stricken as I do(not that I'm wishing it on you) I first got Tinnitus about 9 years ago. I think I got it from motorcycle riding. Not wearing ear plugs in my crash helmet, and the constant wind rush going past my ears. I woke up with the noise I'm my ear one morning, I brushed it off and thought it would go away.
It didn't, it drove me mad, I could not sleep for two weeks, (I'm a terrible sleeper anyway) eventually I went to my local A&E in the hospital, I was practically begging them for some sleeping tablets. They told me they were not allowed to dispense them to me. And then gave the lecture on how their is nothing that can do for tinnitus, accept maybe operating, & making me deaf. So I left the ward.
As I was walking through reception, I came over all funny, I did not know what was wrong with me. I went over to the receptionist , and told her to get somebody, because I am going to pass out, that was the last thing I remembered. Next thing I knew I was being wheeled along in a gurney, drips coming out of my arms, nurses holding the liquid solution for the drips. Other staff asking me my name, NOK etc. they thought I was having a seizure. It turned out to be my first panic attack, and I have been plagued with them ever since.
I am going through a stressful separation at the moment, and the ringing is very loud. One question I wanted to ask is. Why is it sometimes the noise goes down too a barely audible whisper? It's happened on a few occasions, and I think to my self , hallelujah. But it does return. I try to replicate what I did on the day the noise lowered and rack my brains about what I had eaten. But the noise only seems too lower of its own accord.
The other problem I have is coping with pitch of the noise changing, I can honestly say, that I feel intense fear, my bowels move and I want to mess my self, it terrifys me. And I have done some risky stuff in my life, and it starts the onset of a panic attack.
Doctors won't supply sleeping tablets, I am on anti depressants anyway. But if I don't sleep I get more stress. Which equals louder noise. I do obtain tranquillisers from another source, and the help me sleep.
So I just wanted to share more story, and I am sorry we are all sufferers

) and it worked very well. Also i sometimesused anxyolitics for sleeping, way better because they just calm you down and so only help the process of sleeping. But try to get them from a doctor, maybe your "other source don't know the possible side effects or the better use of those. It's Just an advice!
