Are The Noises In My Head Caused By High ESR-37?

A blood test reveals that I have an ESR of 37 and I am experiencing pain and stiffness in the fingers of my right hand. I had high cholesterol and was taking 10mg Lipitor. The Lipitor was increased to 20mg. and it seemed soon after I started experiencing noises in my head. However, I am wondering whether the noises in my head could also be attributed to the high ESR..

Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.

If I am your doctor I advice you that ringing in the ear is not because of high ESR but it is because of high cholesterol you have in your blood. so increase in lipitor is in effort to decrease the cholesterol of your body. so continue the treatment with the drug your ringing will gradually disappears.
