Tinnitus and palpatations

[Denise B]

Hi, Im 59 yeas old.My health is good. Not overweight, generally fit an take good care of myself and what I eat. I have been on BP medication for many years (i'm told its hereditary - Mom and Dad both had it). My tinnitus is something I have become accustomed to. Three days ago, I didn't feel well but couldn't put my finger on any one thing. My BP was normal although my heart rate was elevated. I lay down, feeling dizzy. Over a period of 12 hours I had very loud bursts of sound in both ears - so severe that my head twitched involuntarily. I say my MD who said that when it happens again, I must go straight to the ER. I'm really scared. My father died aged 62 from MCI. I have had an ECG which showed only slight abnormalities. Can anyone explain this to me? Thank you.

Hello, sorry to hear you're not feeling well. what's weird is that the last few days i've noticed a low "hum" in my left ear thats overwhelming when the room is silent or there isn't a lot of noise. its constant, i also suffer from heart palpitations, no clue if there is a link, but the tinnitus has been driving me crazy. hope you feel better soon.
