- Unknown for 10 years, but later bad from loud fireworks.
I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is a vasodilator brand or list of vasodilator brands that seem to help with tinnitus more than other types? A long while back, I asked my doctor for a vasodilator as I had read that it can help. I searched around the web and got a generic brand I saw mentioned a few times, but apparently I guess he couldn't find it in his computer. He prescribed "Amlodipine Besylate". Yes, I do have high blood pressure. My tinnitus is different types of noise, but a big one is hearing my heart beat.
I have gone to a few different walk-in clinics the past couple of years who do the regular looking in your ear thing and they have seen fluid on the back of my eardrum.
Anyways, at the time I seemed to had noticed some improvement after I started taking it. However, a couple of weeks later, I was taking apart a hard drive. I was trying to separate some powerful magnets inside, and they clanged together sending out a loud ping sound. One of my ears erupted. And that made the tinnitus get worse to where it would get louder if say I bent over or turned my head.
And then a long while later, I had a cold for a week. That made my tinnitus get a lot louder and more shrill. And then a couple of months ago I got COVID-19 which made it get even louder.
I'm going to be going in to get refills of meds. So I thought of asking for a different vasodilator to see if a different one helps more, because with Amlodipine Besylate I did initially notice some improvement. But after my tinnitus getting a lot worse, I don't really notice an improvement anymore.
I'm going to have to also see if he can finally get my high blood pressure down. I've had high blood pressure for at least 5+ years, and it's usually high whenever I test it. My doctor knows about this. But it's still high, and I keep mentioning about it at every appointment I have as I just go in every so often to get refills.
