Introduction
Headache and ringing in the ears may be caused by physiological factors, or by pathological conditions such as autonomic nervous system dysfunction or hypertension. Treatment can include general management and medication. If a patient frequently stays up late or experiences excessive mental stress, it may negatively affect the brain, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and tinnitus. It is important to get adequate rest and avoid overexertion.
Headache accompanied by ringing in the ears may result from physiological factors, or it could be caused by pathological conditions such as autonomic nervous system dysfunction or hypertension. Treatment may involve general management and medication. Specific details are as follows:
I. Physiological Factors
If a patient frequently stays up late or experiences excessive mental stress, it may negatively affect brain function, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears). It is important to get adequate rest and avoid overexertion.
II. Pathological Factors
1. Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction
Psychological and social factors, genetic predisposition, and biological factors may all contribute to autonomic nervous system dysfunction, resulting in symptoms like headache and tinnitus. Medications such as Oryzanol tablets or Vitamin B1 tablets may be taken under medical guidance.
2. Hypertension
Hypertension can be caused by genetic factors, age, high-sodium and low-potassium diet, and chronic mental stress. If left uncontrolled over time, it may lead to headaches. Medications such as Amlodipine Besylate and Benazepril Hydrochloride Tablets (Ⅱ) or Losartan Potassium Tablets may be prescribed under a doctor's supervision.
In addition to the above causes, insufficient cerebral blood supply, cerebral hypoxia, or cerebral infarction could also be responsible. It is important to maintain a positive mindset and avoid emotional agitation. Patients are advised to seek timely medical attention when experiencing discomfort and to undergo standardized treatment under professional medical guidance, which helps promote recovery.
