What Causes Tinnitus, Mild Headache And Intermittent Headache?
For the past few days, I m hearing a weird tap, tap in my head, followed by a brief nothing , like complete silence (I adjusts have ringing). Have a dull headache, and off and on nausea. What does this sound like? Blood pressure is normal, but I feel strange.

Hi Dear ,
As per your query you have tinnitus, mild headache and intermittent headache . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case it seems to me that the symptoms are either due to acoustic neuroma or meniere's disease .Meniere’s disease is a disorder that affects the inner ear . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order tests like audiometry , electrocochleography , electronystagmography , rotary chair , VEMP , posturography , magnetic resonance imaging and computerized tomography to confirm the diagnosis and rule out condition like sinusitis . Doctor may prescribe anti enetic drug , sedatives , supplement like ginkgo biloba , hearing aid , meniett device and may recommend endolymphatic sac procedure and surgery in case of acoustic neuroma .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
