is pain behind the ears associated with high blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Retroaural pain: I know of no association of post auricular pain with hypertension.

Question 7

could high blood pressure cause your ears to ring?

Accepted Answer

Tinnitus and BP: Tinnitus, or ringing in your ears, can indeed be made more noticeable by high blood pressure.  Also, some of the diuretics, like lasix, (furosemide) which are occasionally prescribed for hypertension may cause or worsen tinnitus.  This effect usually subsides when the medication is stopped.

Question 8

plugged ears when stand up fast, is this a high blood pressure symptom?

Accepted Answer

Plugged ears: Are not a high blood pressure symptom.

Question 9

a zumbed (zumba) in the ear always is meaning high blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Unclear: Perhaps you wouldn't mind rephrasing your concern. I'll be happy to get back to you. A sensation of "pounding" may be related to hbp. But, a ringing or buzzing or hissing sound, with or without loss of hearing, should be evaluated by an md or audiologist. You are a bit young to have tinnitus, so getting an evaluation would be wise! an ear, nose and throat md would be appropriate. Good luck!

Question 10
