Could Feeling Of Heart Beating Faster And Blocked Ears Be Due To Intake Of Medication For High BP?
Hi my mom has been complaining lately about how her heart beats faster when she feels tired & she also looses her hearing, not completely but she feels as tho someone is covering her ears. She takes high blood pressure medication so we don t know if it has something to do with that. Thanks

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Muffled hearing is common with aging. She may want to have her hearing assessed to determine if any loss can be detected.
If it is significant then she may need hearing aids to assist her.
In terms of the increased heart beat,there are different possible causes such as: (1)anemia
(2)thyroid disease
(3)angina (parts of the heart not getting enough blood)
(4)heart failure
(5)congenital heart disease
(6)electrolyte disorder
(7)lung disease
(8)anxiety
(9)side effect of medication
She needs to consider visiting her doctor for an assessment.
I hope this helps
