Beware that too much stress can put you at risk of tinnitus

For modern people, the pressure from work and life is very high, which will not only cause your mental breakdown, but also harm your physical health. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if you are often under great stress, you may be at risk of tinnitus. The specific reasons are described below.

Long-term excessive stress and mental tension can cause some physical discomfort, tinnitus being one of them. Tinnitus refers to the abnormal sound sensation produced by people in the absence of any external stimulation. It is divided into organic and non-organic types. The former may be caused by diseases such as colds and otitis media, which is caused by auditory dysfunction; the latter is mostly caused by excessive stress, emotional instability, etc., with neurological tinnitus being the most common.

In recent years, the incidence of tinnitus among white-collar workers has increased significantly. It is not only common among middle-level leaders in companies, but many newcomers in the workplace are also troubled by tinnitus. Its main manifestation is high-frequency tinnitus, which is related to high work pressure, lack of sleep and frequent social engagements. Some people have poor emotion regulation ability and are often troubled by negative emotions, especially those with anxiety or depression, and tinnitus is very serious.

Generally speaking, the symptoms of neurological tinnitus are mostly paroxysmal. If the symptoms disappear in about 3 days, there is no need to worry about it. However, it should be noted that the blood vessels in the ears are small and very sensitive to external stimuli, and tiny blood clots can easily block the microcirculation in the ears. If persistent tinnitus occurs, you should be alert to the presence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes; it may also be a precursor to dizziness, so you need to be alert to the possibility of Meniere's disease (an inner ear disease), and it is best to seek medical attention in a timely manner.

To relieve neurological tinnitus, we must first treat the symptoms and relieve stress in time. To reduce stress, white-collar workers should adjust their work pace, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and avoid excessive fatigue. Secondly, try not to stay up late and soak your feet in hot water before going to bed to relieve your emotions and promote sleep.

Learn to control your temper and don't be suspicious or worry too much. Finally, patients with persistent tinnitus are advised to ask their doctors to rule out organic diseases. They can also ask their doctors to prescribe some nerve-nourishing and blood vessel-dilation drugs for auxiliary treatment. Middle-aged women with persistent tinnitus should seek medical attention promptly and have their endocrine system checked. If necessary, they can take estrogen under the guidance of a doctor.

So, if you put too much pressure on yourself, it will not be good for your health. In daily life, it is very useful to learn some ways to relieve your own stress. Cultivate some hobbies for yourself and pay attention to self-cultivation, which will help relieve your stress.
