What Causes Dizziness And Ringing In The Ears?

My boyfriend developed a bleeding ulcer in his esophogus (sp?) and his hemoglobin dropped to 7.7. (He is 55 years old and had a stroke last year which he recovered from fully)They gave him 2 pints of blood and discharged him. He left the hospital at a 10.1 level. He his tired, dizzy and ringing in his ears. Is this normal or should I get him back to the hospital?

HI

Thanks for posting your query.

NO its not normal . Either his haemoglobin has dropped again due to continuing bleeding from the ulcer or it could be due to problems in the inner ear.

In both cases he need to be evaluated as continued bleeding is not a could sign and can become dangerous if neglected.

My recommendation is to get him to hospital , get his Haemoglobin checked again and if it has dropped then ask your doctors to redo upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to see if the bleeding is continuing from the ulcer.

If Haemoglobin has not dropped then he needs a check up from ENT doctor for Inner ear problems.

Hope this was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .

Regards.
