/?040710" Ringing In My Ears High Blood Pressure

Ringing ears, blood pressure, what's the connection? As we all know, many people suffer from a ringing in their ears, which is known as tinnitus. The most common type is called 'continuous tinnitus'; caused by damage to the cochlea of the inner ear or the hearing nerve. However, a rarer from of tinnitus, called pulsatile tinnitus, can be a symptom of a more serious problem. It is unusual but possible to have these two types of tinnitus together, and people who have both conditions usually say the pulsatile component is the more bothersome.Ringing In My Ears High Blood Pressure

Pulsatile tinnitus is the type of tinnitus that can be heard by other people aside from the person experiencing the tinnitus. The noise within the ear can be heard as a rhythmic pulsing that is often in time with the heartbeat. Pulsatile tinnitus can be a symptom of more serious underlying conditions. These conditions can include something called a 'glomus tumor'. This is a benign vascular tumor typically found just below the artery or in the ear. Another underlying condition of pulsatile tinnitus is BIH (benign intracranial hypertension). However, probably the most recognizable underlying condition of pulsatile tinnitus is high blood pressure - also known as hypertension. /?040710" Ringing In My Ears High Blood Pressure

Some 60 million Americans have hypertension, but only about half of them know it, primarily because it so rarely causes any noticeable symptoms and is usually detected only incidentally during a routine physical examination. Though pulsatile tinnitus can be a symptom of hypertension, it is actually not that common. Approximately three percent of patients are affected with this type of tinnitus. Typically patients with hypertension that experience pulsatile tinnitus do not start to hear a noise or ringing in their ears until after they start taking their medication. Most individuals find the ringing disappears after medication starts to reduce the pressure within the blood vessels.

There are steps you can take to control your high blood pressure, and subsequently your tinnitus. Exercising for a short period everyday is one of the best things you can do to improve your blood pressure. Other lifestyle choices (such as improper diet, smoking, consumption of alcohol and caffeine) can have large effects on controlling your blood pressure.

The relief or the severity of pulsatile tinnitus caused by hypertension will be directly related to the degree you control your blood pressure. See your doctor, eat well, get plenty of sleep, avoid stress, exercise regularly and limit other lifestyle activities that can aggravate both blood pressure and tinnitus. /?040710" Ringing In My Ears High Blood Pressure
