What is ear drops?
Earrings can be expressed through many different forms of sound such as Vo Vo, rising, resounding, swerving or mu mu. These sounds can occur in one or both ears, continuously or in clusters, according to Onlymyhealth.
How can high blood pressure cause ear drops?
According to Dr. Girish Anand, ENT expert at Aster CMI Hospital (Bengaluru, India), high blood pressure can cause earaches, especially those that follow the heartbeat. When blood pressure rises, blood flow through small blood vessels near the ear increases, creating a beating-like sound, which the patient can hear more clearly when lying or in a quiet place.
If blood pressure is not controlled for a long time, blood vessels can be damaged, lose elasticity, affect the blood flow that nourishes the inner ear and make ear phlegm worse.
Earaches can be a sign of poor blood circulation
In addition to high blood pressure, blood circulation problems such as atherosclerosis (plaque that narrows the vessel), blood clots, deformities or aneurysms around the head and neck can also cause heartbeat earaches.
Anemia (a decrease in blood oxygen levels) can also affect the inner ear. In addition, diseases of the blood vessels such as diabetes and peripheral artery disease reduce blood circulation, which can make ear phlegm worse.
Warning signs of ear dryness related to cardiovascular disease
Dr. Anand notes that you need to pay special attention if:
The ear whistling sound is like a heartbeat and changes according to the position (lying down, bending your head, after strength).
Earaches occur in both ears.
Additional symptoms: dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid or irregular heartbeat.
His hearing changed dramatically.
Earaches appear suddenly, seriously or increase in intensity rapidly.
The above manifestations may be related to cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, blood vessel malformation and need to be examined early.
When to see a doctor?
You should go to a medical facility if:
ear drops last more than a week.
Affects sleep, concentration or daily activities.
Other symptoms such as headache, dizziness, hearing loss, facial muscle weakness, chest pain appear.
Note
Dr. Anand said that ear drops are not just a simple ENT problem but can be related to the cardiovascular system and blood circulation. Even if the sound is not too loud, prolonged ear drums need to be assessed medically, as it can be a sign of a serious illness such as high blood pressure, atherosclerosis or vascular disorders. Early diagnosis and treatment will help prevent complications and significantly improve the quality of life.
