Should I Go Back to the Doctor?

[AmberS]

Hi all-

Back story. I started having ear ringing mid July. My birth control was switched to a generic, and I figured that was the cause (I got it switched back). I went to the doctor, she told me I had fluid in my ears and to take Sudafed.

She also prescribed me Prozac for my anxiety. I came back a week and a half later, and the tinnitus was gone! I was super congested, so she gave me a nose spray. Beginning of August, I notice the tinnitus coming back.

I have mostly learned to deal with it, but now am concerned that it is coming back again.

I am wondering if it is the Prozac? I am taking the Sudafed again, but it hasn't done much.

I do have a "watery" feeling in my ears every once in awhile, like maybe they are trying to drain?

I have a Google problem and have read some scary stuff! I would describe it as a high pitched ringing in both ears.

Nothing heartbeat sounding, expect when my hear rate is elevated, like after exercise, which I feel is normal.

Advice??

Always get your ears checked if your having problems.

Agreed, visit the doctor.

If you feel fluid in your ears, there may be fluid in your ears... It could be related to allergies, inflammation of/around the Eustachian tubes can cause both a middle ear fluid buildup and tinnitus. (I'm not a doctor, though!)
