My answer is as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir. Welcome to HCM and thank you for your question. I understand your concern.
If you feel dizziness whenever you drive a car, whether this is for physiological or psychological reasons, then my suggestion is that you should not drive a car, until the matter is resolved, as this can pose a hazard to the others. As I can assume from your description, your hypertension and diabetes are both controlled well by your curing doctor, as you did not mention any drugs or complaints about this matter.
The thing to be concerned, at least acutely, is the whistling in your ears. This can suggest any ear problem, even those with the inner ear, which would best describe the dizziness you feel. Therefore, I would recommend you to pursue a consult with a otorhinolaringologist (ENT doctor), who will depict whether you have a problem with your ears, and wether betaserc is needed to treat your dizziness.
I hope I was of help. I am happy to help, if you have follow-up questions. Please close the discussion and rate the answer if you do not.
My best regards,
Dr. Meriton
