Pulsating Tinnitus

I have been suffering from pulsating tinnitus since 07/21/18, which may have been triggered by blood pressure meds or fluid behind the left eardrum.

The only thing that takes it away so far is regular Claritin allergy medication. If I don't take the Claritin it will come back! :-(

I just want the physician to get to the bottom of this and stop it from occurring or it stops on its own.

Has anyone been through this?

 

Are you still taking your blood pressure med? Which one?

One of our managers (Karen) has PT from an antihypertensive (with preexisting tinnitus).

A tympanogram will tell you if you have a middle ear effusion (fluid behind the drum)

If Claritine stops your PT, then I would be looking at histamine intolerance/DAO deficiency (enzyme that breaks down histamine)

From memory, I am pretty sure that histamine can affect bp.

btw, testing for histamine intolerance is difficult. i have done it myself, but the numbers don't always match the symptoms and response to treatment. if you have histamine intolerance, you need to heal your gut, as the enzyme that breaks down histamine is released from the gut lining.

You could look up histamine lowering diets online, and try some DAO. if you feel better (tinnitus improves), then i guess you have your answer.
