Tinnitus problem waked up this morning
Hi Doc, I am male age 54 years old. I have hypertension for years already but I am taking Olmetec 20mg daily. I am a compliance patient. So far; my blood pressure is controlling well. I perform blood check in the clinic every 3 months and the reading is around 80-90/120-130. However; I have tinnitus this morning. I just wondering can this cause by my high bp? However; I dont feel anything wrong. Please advise.
