Hello again,

First I would like to thank everyone for being so supportive and also know that I have read your your posts, and try to give support when I feel I can, but of course my experties are not in the field of T, as you know.

As I have stated, my more intense T was first noticed by me upon awaking in the middle of the night a few weeks ago, then it went away for a few weeks, but came back. I have always had a lesser T, to some degree for many years.

Since it has came back it is a set pattern to be present in both ears every morning when I wake up, as well as upon awaking up after a nap. I did receive a reply from a few members that happens to them too.

The ring is not the same type of ring that I have through out the day in my ears, which is a on and off again hiss/ring. However it is a steady hummm/ring, such as the type of humm/hiss/ring one might experience in their ears when they are very tired, or after being in at a loud event.

After I am up approx one hour, the morning or after nap hiss/ring slowly settles down, then that humm/ring turns to the more mild on off again ring through out the day.

My ringing in the morning or day is not a pulsate ring or swishing sound in my ears, which I read could indicate blood pressure, or tumor.

I plan to purchase those books today, in hopes of finding what the cause could be for my ears to ring louder upon awaking.

I suspect possibly ones body chemistry might change? Blood flow might change? Do any of you know?

My seocnd question is this, in regard to the Hydrochlorothiazide, that was prescribed to me for my high BP. I feel I should try it, since my doctor did prescribe it, and he will be upset with me if I do not at least try it.

I am getting anxious knowing I need to go back to him, already telling him once I did not take it. Or possibly would it be best for me just to ask for a different BP pill?

But, since it is known to cause T., I wonder if any of you might know how soon after I take it would I most likely know if it will make my already present T., worse? Also, if it does couse my T to become worse, will the chances of my T., going back to this stage be a good one. I don't want to end up with worse T.

I understand everyones T varies, as well as treatments vary, but thought possilby some of you might have some insight on my questions.

As you can see I am procrastinating on doing much of anything! But doing a good job of much worry about what my T is from, am I doomed with some serious disease, will it go away, what should I eat, not eat, morings are scarey knowing my ears will be ringing loud, then the other medical factor my BP, and taking the Hydrolchlorothizide. My PB is still up and down.

Thanks and God Bless
