Having Sinus Congestion, Ringing In Ears, High BP, Headache. Taking Clindamycin, Clonazepam Which Brings In Sedation. Suggestions?
I have sinus congestion for weeks with ringing in ears,high bp , and headache, with pnd. I have been taking clindamycin 300mg 4 times a day for 5 days now. Ringing is worse and ear ache on my left side now. I also get episodes of chills with spiking bp of 168/102 or higher. Take .5 clonazepam when this happens and bp lowers significantly but it sedates me.

Hi,
thanks for contacting HCM
As you have sinus congestion, ringing in ears, high BP, headache. Sinus congestion and high BP both may be responsible for tinnitus( ringing in ears). Please strictly control your BP by salt restricted diet, antiaxiety and treatment prescribed by your physician and for sinusitis and to rule out the proper cause of tinnitus please consult the ENT specialist.
Thanks
