Suggest Treatment For Ringing Ears, Headache And Numb Hands

I had the flu, H1N1 over 3 weeks ago. I now have severe ringing in the ears, almost constant headaches and waves of pain in my head that get worse at night when I lay down. Had an episode last Sunday where my head and hands were numb and went to the ER. They did a cat scan and some blood work as well as a urinalysis and cannot find anything. The numbness is gone but still having symptoms. I am 49 years old with high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Antihistaminic like Loratidine 10mg once a day can be taken to releive symptoms.
Aceclophenac 100mg for pain releif can be taken .
Steam inhalation 2-3 times a day will help in decresing internal congetion .
