Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.

After going through the history posted here,I can assure you that amalgam fillings are one of the best and strongest fillings.They do not produce such health hazards,as per the nature of material studied.

Few signs and symptoms that you have mentioned here are definitely age related like tinnitus and loss of teeth.But sinusitis and high blood pressure requires medical attention.

I hope the depressive thoughts would also go away once you start with your treatment and start feeling better.

Therefore please start with immediate ones and take care of yourself.
Thanks.
Take care.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.

You are absolutely wrong, The amalgam restorations cannot cause all these issues.
There are studies which have proved that tinnitus will cause suicidal tendencies. So consult a ENT surgeon and a psychiatrist and get it evaluated.
For the high blood pressure consult a general physician.
All the problems are due to different causes, not because of the amalgam restorations.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
