Symptoms from lack of exercise and frequent long hours of sitting for many years.
I gradually developed symptoms in this order:
- TMJ (had occasional jaw clicking prior to start of tinnitus, which later got a bit more apparent)
- Tinnitus
- Eye floaters
- Hearing sensitivity
- Blurry vision
- Tinnitus became more reactive to movement of jaw/neck/ applying pressure on sides of head.
- hear some clicking at back of neck when doing chin tuck, or at the jaw?
- clicking behind the back/shoulders when shoulder squeeze.
- later on it progressed so badly, that sitting with poor posture would spike tinnitus or just laying in bed and applying pressure on head.
- (More recently and temporarily like for 3-4 days) SINUS pressure, eyes tearing up. And a lot of jaw/internal head pressure. (you know what i mean by that if you got it, as in if you hold your stomach in, if you feel instanteous pressure build up at the throat/head/jaw area) (THIS WAS INSTANTLY RELIVED AND HELPED THROUGH EXERCISING AGAIN)
What helped:
Be conscious of your clenching, sometimes unclench teeth if you notice you clenching or doing it at sleep or sat at pc, etc.
EXERCISE IS AS SIMPLE AS THIS (2-3x a week):
- Push ups
- Squats
- Rows
- Pull ups
- Dead bug
- Bridges
- Bird dog
- Pike push up
