What Causes Dizziness, Lack Of Balance With Pulsing Sound In Ear While On BP Medications?

I have high blood pressure,I m taking 20 mg lysinopryl. I have been experiencing dizziness and being off balance when walking. I also have a pulsing sound near my right ear, sounds like blood flow passing through a vein, like my heart beating. Having problems with insomnia. Any thoughts? Had blood work done about a month ago, all levels were okay except cholesterol was a little high. My doctor recommended staying away from fried foods and eating more greens.

Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have problem of dizziness, lack of balance with pulsing sound in ear while on BP medications . Well there can be many reasons for vertigo , but the most common is anxiety and the other Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) are ear infection , hypoglycemia , anemia , meniere's disease , migraine and alteration in he blood circulation . This can also occur due to side effect of certain medicines like blood pressure medicines and in your case this probably the reason for symptoms . I would suggest you to consult your cardiologist for proper evaluation of the condition . Doctor may alter the dose or prescribe the substitute . Doctor may also refer you to ENT specialist if he/she find problem to be related with ear . For now do not bend forward and drink green tea thrice a day .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
