Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group Drugs That Cause Tinnitus

i had pulsating tinnitus (where you hear your heart beat in your ears) when i was taking vioxx. turns out it was the edema causing it. vioxx caused edema, edema causes pulsating tinnitus. stopped the vioxx, edema went away, pulsating tinnitus went away. was also told during that time when they were trying to figure out why i had it that high blood pressure can also cause it. first thing they checked was my BP which was borderline high, but nothing severe enough to cause it, or so they thought. when i tried aleve for 1-2 weeks, had the same issues. pretty much all NSAIDs do this to me. but thankfully stopping the drugs, stops the symptoms, thank goodness!
