Suggest Treatment For Tinnitus

Lately i've had ringing in the ears and a feeling of being light headed. it happens if i turn my head too far in one direction or if im laying down but lean up. It also happens when im walking. out of nowhere i will get light headed or faint. Is this something i should get seen for? What could be causing this?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain Tinnitus, Lightheadedness and fainting feeling can occur due to a number of causes that can be related to disorders of ears like Labyrinthitis, Meniere's disease and other conditions like Acoustic Neuroma, Benign Peroxysmal Positional Vertigo etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like, CT Scan, x ray, MRI Scan,Audiometry, ECG can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised to take drugs like Diazepam, Meclizine, anti emetics, limit sudden jerky movements of head,limit salt intake as well as take sufficient rest and control anxiety..
Hearing aids can also be advised..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
