A member asked:

Today i was approached by a class mate of mine, and she asked me a question but all of a sudden my ears suddenly felt extremely clogged like how they become when in airplanes and i got this overwhelming sense of fear.. is this a form of anxiety?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This must have been scary. It would help to know more about other circumstance before and after this event. Is this a mate you like or dislike etc. Certainly could be anxiety if this is not something that you have experienced before. If it happens again discuss with a doctor.
