Ringing in Ears

[Janet]

Sandy, I'm really glad you're going to get it checked out. It sounds scary to me. I would be so afraid of a heart attack or a stroke. You take care of yourself girl until you can get to the Dr. You're one of my favorite people and I don't want anything happening to you.

Janet, how's your arm?

Sandy, are you cutting back on your salt? That can make your pressure higher. You need to stick with your doctor on your BP until you find some meds that work for you and make sure that you let him know that your ears are ringing.

I don't know if you have any anxiety problems, like I do, but I was having a terrible time with my BP and I went to another doctor because mine was out of town and he prescribed anxiety meds and my blood pressure is much better with BP and anxiety meds. You might want to ask your doctor about that maybe. I hope that you're able to get this all figured out. Good luck!!

Diana, I've never been a big "salt adder", but have almost cut out chips and salty foods. Heck, I even get my margarita without salt on the glass, if that counts!

I don't feel like I'm overly anxious. Maybe I'll read up on the symptoms. THANKS

It seems to be a bit better. I've been taking the ibuprophen like Diana suggested plus...I started thinking. I know, not a good habit for me....LOLOL

Anyway... I started using two pillows in bed because mine needs replaced. I think my arm started hurting right after that. So last night I only used the one pillow and my arm didn't start hurting until around noon. So I'm continuing to take the ibuprophen and tonight I'll use the one pillow again and see what happens.

I know....too much information, but thanks for asking..

Sandy,

I feel so bad for you. Ringing in the ears must be awful. Along with the other symptoms, it's good that you're going to the doctor on Monday.

Maybe you should rest until you see the doctor.
