My daughter has been suffering from tinnitus for some time, and the noise in her ears has worsened since the birth of her second child. She frequently wears headphones to drown out the sound. While MRI scans and blood tests can help rule out more serious conditions, tinnitus is typically caused by hearing loss, which studies suggest is becoming more common in people under 50 due to frequent use of loud headphones. Although there is no concrete evidence linking a lack of Vitamin D or iron to hearing problems, it is common to have a deficiency in these nutrients, and taking supplements can help. It is crucial to refer tinnitus patients to an ear, nose, and throat doctor, who can provide sound therapy or tinnitus retraining therapy. If patients experience distressing symptoms, they should contact the British Tinnitus Association or consider seeking cognitive behavioural therapy.
For those suffering from a combination of chronic migraines, neck pain, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder, medical treatments can be difficult, since there is little guidance for GPs on how to treat the latter. Usually, GPs prescribe antidepressants alongside referrals to psychological therapy and specialized PMS clinics. However, patients can ease symptoms of conditions like these by getting adequate sleep and regular exercise, as well as trying natural remedies like evening primrose oil or magnesium.
Patients with high cholesterol levels, like those over 8.9, are at risk of hypercholesterolemia, an inherited type of high cholesterol. Doctors will test children for this condition due to its severity. Treatment methods like statins or ezetimibe can reduce bad cholesterol, but it is essential to treat other heart disease risk factors like smoking, obesity, and high blood pressure. If patients experience undesirable side effects, they can try taking fibrate or new types of injections under the guidance of a doctor or a hospital cholesterol clinic.
Finally, we want to know what questions you have about the menopause. A third of the UK’s female population is either peri-menopausal or menopausal, but the vast quantity of information available on menopausal health can be overwhelming and unreliable. Let Dr. Ellie Cannon know what you would like to know about the menopause so she can address it in an upcoming special edition.
We would also like to remind the public to refrain from attacking scientists like former Deputy Chief Medical Officer Jonathan Van-Tam who led us out of the COVID-19 pandemic amidst receiving abusive threats from anti-vaxxers.
