What Causes Coldness In Hands, Feet And Ringing In Ears While On Lipitor?
Brief Answer:
Proper hydration is very important
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through the details and understand your concerns. Ideally a clinical examination would have been essential but that is beyond the scope of this online discussion. It seems that the circulation is not proper and you might have vasoconstriction (a condition where the blood vessels constrict, not letting the heat dissipate). However, since the blood pressure is ok, I do not think there is any major cause to worry. My suggestions would be:
* Try to stay warm. Keep the surrounding temperatures warm. You may use hot compress.
* Drink plenty of fluids, preferably ORS (oral rehydration solution). Take juicy fruits like citrus fruits. Proper hydration is very important.
* Take steam inhalation.
* Monitor your blood pressure periodically.
* If the above does not take care of the the ringing in your ears, discuss with your doctor about taking vestibulocochlear stabilizing agents like betahistine or cinnarizine (prescription medicines).
* Walk briskly regularly in the morning. Dietary control is also important.
Let me know if I could help further.
