Is anyone having a issue with ringing in their ears....bill is complaining about a ringing in his ear that seems to be getting worse and now is complaining of dizziness....he says the dizziness is because of excedrine he took but I wondered if anyone else has had any problems with these things? any thoughts?

Could be an ear infection and not HD related.

I know that if a person is taking too much aspirin can cause ringing in the ears.

It could be Meniers:

The following symptoms are associated with Meniers Disease:

Vertigo: attacks of spinning sensation that might lead to imbalance, nausea and vomiting.
Hearing Loss: although hearing may return to normal between attacks, there is a substantial hearing loss over time.
Tinnitus: A loud ringing sound in the ear.
A feeling of fullness in the affected ear.
In severe cases the person can suffer from sudden falls

Just a suggestion.

Sounds a lot like High Blood Pressure, How often do you check it?. Always Remember, HD is not always the cause of other problems,You can always be affected by everything that affects everyone else in the world.

He had physical a year ago but I guess it's time for another one, there are so many possibilities for the symptoms , I guess I just figured that I could eliminate this one first....since its the biggest!

thanks again
