Do I have Tinnitus?

[Hannibal1948]

Hi,

Strange things going on here...

I'm frequently hearing loud buzzing, dizziness and whooshing noises with slight blurred vision lasting a couple of seconds. My GP says to "keep an eye on it" but obv I'm concerned and anxious.

I thought at first it was my medication (Bisoprolol and Flecainide) for AF.

Does anyone in this group have similar experience or any advice?

Not got your exact symptoms but I was advised (when I had dizziness) to make sure I was really well hydrated. I drink a lot of water.

Hi, Hannibal1948,

I don't take those meds but I do have similar symptoms at times. I have Tinnitus and when I'm anxious, like at this time, these symptoms appear, not for long each time, but for as long as I'm anxious and stressed. I have found that if I can ease the anxiety the symptoms lessen. I still have tinnitus, but these symptoms ease. I go for a walk, exercise, this really helps, meditate with deep breathing exercises, read a book, anything that relaxes you will help.

Look after yourself.

Take care

Now and then I experience vertigo, but it's generally mild. This last no more than two or three days. I have to avoid sudden movements particularly standing up or turning round. I take Betahistine.
