Have been taking aspirin (325 mg x 3 daily) along with niacin to get my cortisol down. Now upon getting up, I'm getting a sort of 'wup-wup-wup-wup' low tone in my right ear. This has happened several times. I don't know if this has something to do with my carotid artery (neck) or if it's tinnitus, which can sound like a number of things - but guessing it's more on the level of an arterial issue since it starts only when I get up from a sitting position. Don't know, I'm not much of a science person.
Looked up tinnitus and found that it can be caused by aspirin - "It's possible to create tinnitus by having a person take a lot of aspirin," the specialist said. "In the old days, doctors used to tell arthritis patients seeking pain relief: 'Take aspirin until your ears ring. ' That was just an old-fashioned way of determining a patient's tolerance to aspirin. " Tinnitus can occur in a single episode, temporarily for a few days or weeks, or permanently, Moran said. It can occur in one ear (unilaterally) or in both ears (bilaterally). While tinnitus is more common in both ears, the rare unilateral ailment can be more serious." High-Pitched Ringing in Ears May Be Wake-Up Call
Just putting this out there FYI.
