yes. i have had T for 16 years but it has just got worse in the right ear setting off severe anxiety and panic attacks. which scares me because i thought i had learned to 'handl' the T. my g.p has put me on antidepressants and anxiety tablets as she thinks my depression (which i have suffered on and off for years) has made me focus on the T, therefore making it worse. i am trying hard now, to get on with norml life and hope it settles.

I started with dizziness and ended up in hospital, apparentley I had vertigo and it is sometimes associated with T so get it checked out at your docs, mine was caused by an ear infection at the time but it made my T 10 worse, good luck!!
