Suggest Treatment For Tinnitus In A Hypertensive Person
Question: Recently i have been able to hear a coursing blood sound in my left ear. It occurs in my left ear only and particularly when i lie down to go to sleep, but also other times when i feel flushed or that blood has gone to my head. Is this something I should get investigated? Thanksam 49 6'1" 180 lbs with no health issues and on no medication. I quit what had been once a month binge drinking, and havent had alcohol for 2 months. I do not get exercise but am walking or riding the bike for 30-45 min everyday. Am slightly more fatigued than before, though my work schedule 9am-1am with a few hours break does no favors. Thanks!

I read your query and understood your concerns.
What you are experiencing most likely is associated with hypertension (high blood pressure) or inner ear issues.
If you were my patients I would recommend to do the following examinations to find out what is causing your symptoms:

I wasnt actually wondering what my doctor should do if i choose to go. Was wondering more what level of urgency I should apply to this issue. Is it a common occurrence? Does it portend something very serious in a high percentage of cases? Or is it just something that could be nothing in most cases. Thanks
