Is hearing ringing in the ears while being dizzy normal?

Post Reply New Topic

I get dizzy a lot, I had low blood pressure, but I'm unsure about that anymore because the last few times I've gotten my blood pressure measued was that it was only a little lower then normal. I still get dizzy a lot however. I haven't fainted in a long while, but the dizzy feeling is extremely overwhelming, sometimes to the point where I have to sit/hold on to something to make it go away. I can hide it from others most of the time, unless it's really bad, so nobody knows that I'm getting this dizzy several times a day now. A new symptom is that I'm getting ringing in the ears with the dizzy spell, which has never happened before. Disoritened, yes, loss of balance, yes, blurred vision, yes, but not this.
I know I should see a doctor about this, but my main doctor is on vacation still and I'm scared of the clinics. By the time he comes back from vacation, I'll be in school and I can't take a day off (like no nighttime appointments EVER available or weekends) with my very busy school year coming up. So any suggestions that would make things easier or any signs on what this could be?

there's a condition called tinnitus that has various causes. it's symptom is a noise in the ear/ears. it can be a buzz, a hiss, a ringing, or a whine. it can be caused by an ear infection, a clogged ear passage, things like that. the most common cause is nerve damage of some sort and is generally not curable if it is caused by nerve damage.

many people have this.....including william shatner.

my symptom is a 2.5 kilohertz whine in the left ear. it is incredibly annoying.

get thee to a physician. if it is tinnitus and you can stop it now.....trust me.....you want that to happen.

i sincerely hope it is related to your blood pressure. oh that mine was.

It may be a med side-effect, I started on one somewhat recently and dizziness is a super common side-effect while the ringing happens over 1% in people who take it.

Thank you so much for responding though, it helps me a lot to have a name for it to research and figure this out.
