I Am Allergic To Cobalt. Started Sweating And Getting Cold. Is This The Reason For Tinnitus? What To Do?

default
Posted on Thu, 16 Aug 2012
Question: Hi Dr. XXXXXXX
Dr. XXXXXXX showed me a number of possibilities where my tinnitus can comes from.
Yes, I ‘m allergic to cobalt, but I have no connections to cobalt.
I don’t have high blood pressure. My blood pressure is 130/90 and my weight is 85 kg.
I need my coffee in the morning, otherwise I’m very tired and dizzy.
In situation of stress my tinnitus is very intensive.
But most of the time, my tinnitus occurs when I’m have a cold. The cold comes usually from my sweating.
I often too tired to do my household chores. I don’t know, where it comes from. Normally I’m not lazy, but I often have a light pressure on my heart and the breathing makes it hard to be active, than I enormously start sweating. I think, that is the reason for the tinnitus. But what shall I do against my sweating?
I am looking forward to your answers,
Kindly regards
XXXXXX

Hi XXXXXX,

Thanks for posting your query.

Your symptoms combined together, are mostly related to your age.

Tinnitus occurs frequently in episodes of cold and stress. Cold causes a block in the ear and thereby causes tinnitus.

As age advances, the ejection fraction or the contraction capacity of the heart drops. Therefore, you tend to feel light pressure on the heart and breathing becomes harder. Sweating is an associated symptom with this. These are not the reason for your tinnitus.

Sweating is a protective phenomena, it is a sympathetic response to stress. It is not harmful to you.

You may get an EKG and a chest x-ray done to look at your heart and chest.

The tinnitus can be managed symptomatically.

Hope this helps.

Hi XXXXXX,

Thanks for writing back.

Check for thyroid status, hemoglobin and differential count, it may hint a reason for sweating. Treating the cause helps.

If there is no reason the specific surgical management of excessive and troublesome sweating is Cervical or Lumbar sympathetecomy. But I mean this is not the best at this age.

Other symptomatic management techniques include using roll-on antiperspirants and Iontophoresis.

You may discuss about these with your treating physician.

Hope this helps. Please feel free to write back, in case you have follow up queries to ask.
