High blood pressure 170/110 help!!!!?

my blood pressure has been running out of sight my question is will this also make my ears hurt like an ear ache ? what are some of the sympons yall have with high blood pressure? ive been to the dr. recently and he started me on lotensin and dynacirc cr. but he said give it a while to start working .

There really are no symptoms of high blood pressure, that is why it is called the "silent killer" Usually the only way someone knows they have it is when they are actually tested. Your drugs will help lower it soon, and in the meantime stay AWAY from salt! It increases it like crazy. Try to stay under 1500 mg of sodim daily and increase your potassium levels too. I lowered mine from 150/95 to 117/73 with NO drugs, by eating 1000 mg of sodium daily and increasing my potassium intake to around 3000 mg , and exercising of course.

It absolutely can cause your ears to hurt..I was diagnosed 3 weeks after finding out my older brother had cancer. We have a huge family history, so its my turn basically. I was diagnosed with HTN when I thought I had an inner ear infection. I was feeling a pounding swishing in my ears when I was moving around and it was worse in the morning, and headache all the time in the bottom back of my head, I was also dizzy and fell in the middle of the night getting up to use bathroom. I would call him back if your still getting that number because it should not take that long for the meds to kick in. He may need to change the meds. If he blows you off, get another dr. Please stay on him and get this taken care of. The long term effects of untreated hypertension include stoke and heart attack, and kidney failure.

I don't know of any relationship between elevated blood pressure and ear pain.
