[|Human|] I am on Celexa for anxiety. I have schizophrenia in my immediate family as well as depression anxiety and bipolar mood swings. A couple days ago I went to see someone about getting a divorce. My husband was very abusive and I have been diagnosed with PTSD. Since seeing her, my head feels like its rushing or expanding periodically. Last night I started hearing this scratching noise. I thought it was in my fan but realized when I went into the other room that it was actually in my head. I am really stressed right now and this is worrying me greatly. Am I going crazy?
[|AI|]  Hi there, thanks for asking. You have a careful observation. The most probable thing is that the symptom you mentioned could be tinnitus happened as a side effect of the medication you are using (Elena). Tinnitus could be intensified with stress and anxiety. There are some ways to decrease or eliminate it such as avoiding caffeine, not adding salt to your food, not using so much canned food and decreasing the stress level. Tinnitus may also be sensitive to red wine and old cheese (some people report it). It is very good that you are paying attention to the possibility of other mental illnesses as you have in your family. I suggest that you notice to the factors mentioned and also with managing your stress level see if it is controlled. You can ask your doctor to check your blood pressure since it could also contribute to tinnitus. I wish you the best health.
