Debra: Tinnitus and Migraines

[Guest guest]

Hi Debra,

I also have a history of migraines which started at age 18. (I'm

currently taking Imitrex to control them.) Up until my surgery, tinnitus has

never been bothersome to me. In fact, it was something I hardly paid

attention to because it occurred so infrequently. The ringing sound I

did experience only lasted for a minute or two and then went away.

Your doctor describing tinnitus the way he did is interesting because aside

from nausea and dizziness, tinnitus happens to be one of the other warning

symptoms I experience just before a migraine attack.

I'll be interested in reading comments from others to find out what their

experiences have been.
