I found an interesting article about orthotic hypotension on the mayo clinic website. My blood pressure changes throughout the day In the morning it is usually the worst and when i feel the worst When it's below 95 over 65, i usually feel bad I have also noticed that my pulse is usually high Almost always, when i have been feeling bad, my pulse is over 95.
I felt pressure in my head then a pop sound and the ringing in my head started and never stopped It was a very high pitch at first but after 6 months the sound became very low almost gone Recently i was prescribed blood pressure meds I have been taking the meds for about 10 months and started having episode of spiked tinnitus. Hyperactivity 6 memory loss 5 poor concentration 5 cognitive and perceptual disorders 3 depression 2 add 2 irritability 2 central. I think it is linked to my low blood pressure
I control the blood pressure with diet and salt tablets trying to stay well hydrated, but the tinnitus is very loud anyway. Each of them exacerbated the tinnitus by two to four times, even at low doses Lisinopril did not affect the tinnitus, but it caused central nervous system side effects, so i had to stop that one as well Telmisartan is supposed to be one of the better blood pressure drugs for tinnitus It has even been shown to be otoprotective. It's also present different times of the day and night
I don't have a problem with high blood pressure, typically it runs low but my pulse rate runs higher than normal most of the time I have pvc's (premature ventricular contractions) so being able to hear that my heart is not beating in normal rhythm is unnerving (putting it mildly). In my case, it was blood pressure medicine that made my mild tinnitus much worse, so i would definitely not recommend taking a blood pressure drug to reduce tinnitus! Guanfacine reduces the heart rate and blood pressure So, guanfacine can only help, imo A lot of these high blood pressure drugs can overcorrect enough to give you hypotension, which can also cause tinnitus
