What Causes Feeling Of Buzzing Sensation In The Body?
The other day I felt my cell phone buzzing in my pocket and went to answer it but it was not my cell phone. The buzzing has been going on for a few days now. It comes and goes seemingly without any cause. No pain at all and the feeling of buzzing lasts for three or four seconds each buzz and goes for a few minutes then stops. Any suggestions on what this might be?

Hello,
It looks like you are hearing noises, the commonest cause of buzzing, ringing, hissing sound in the ears is caused by tinnitus.
But it can also be due to wax in the ear. it may be triggered by stress and anxiety.
You are suggested to get physically examined by an ENT. You may need an ear wash done by the specialist if ear wax is detected. Get CT, MRI & Audiological examination done.
Your treatment will depend upon the severity of tinnitus detected. You may need medications, hearing aids & masking devices or surgery.
Avoid alcohol or addictions if any. Manage stress & avoid swimming till you are being treated. In the meantime take Zinc and vitamin B supplements.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
