No two pregnancies are the same and the same goes for tinnitus. Everyone's experience is different. Tinnitus is a condition that can cause roaring, buzzing, whistling, whooshing and ringing ears. It seems that when you are pregnant everything is magnified and this includes the symptoms of tinnitus. The only person that can hear these annoying sounds is you; they are not audible from the outside. You can try to figure a way out to make the situation more comfortable. The discomforts of pregnancy are bad enough- tinnitus on top of that is no walk in the park.

When a woman becomes pregnant the body and mind go through many changes. These will disappear after you have the baby. Most experience only the more common problems of pregnancy, but there are many who have more of a chance of ear ringing: first pregnancy, multiple pregnancies, women over 40, teen mothers and women whose mother or sister may have had it. Other more serious problems can arise so you need to get to the bottom of it right away. When you reach the second half of pregnancy, more dramatic things start happening to your body. Toxemia and preeclampsia, also known as hypertension, can become a high risk factor. You will usually find high levels of protein in your urine, high blood pressure and swelling that just won't go away. You also need to watch out for the problems that you had before pregnancy like kidney disease or blood pressure; they can become worse while pregnant.

Blood pressure is a very serious thing and when you are pregnant it can be more hazardous. It is something that you and your doctor need to keep an eye on. When you are pregnant the senses become more aware and when you have blood rushing through the arteries it is amplified in the ears and sounds like a heart beat; this is known as pulsatile tinnitus and because you are pregnant the sound can be more annoying.

Pregnant women usually complain that they are experiencing ringing ears; pregnancy can be the cause of this type of problem. This could be something new to you and after you give birth the problems may subside. When a woman is pregnant, sleep is always a concern as it is and this is mostly because we are bigger and becoming comfortable enough to sleep can be awkward at times. When we begin to start hearing the ringing in our ears it is probably due to a lack of sleep. The less sleep we get the more the tinnitus becomes heightened.

It is a difficult task to keep blood pressure at a low level; being pregnant on top of it all makes it even more difficult. Because you are pregnant you will also find it more difficult to ease the symptoms of the ringing in your ears. You need to make sure that you have plenty of time to rest because you and the baby are going to need it. Follow up with your doctor and if any problems come up make sure to let him know.
