Hi
I have had buzzing ears (-tinnitus) for the past few days, & I'm -hoping- that it's just another Metformin side effect (& so will go away when I can get off the pills). - Has anybody else experienced this with Metformin, please?
My background:
Circulation (- which may or may not be related):
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards,
Rosalind

My background:
- Before June this year I had high (-Ok, very, very high) blood sugar levels (so I realise that my body will take some time to recover from that abuse).
- On 24 June I started on 2 Metformin (500 mg) twice a day, & immediately my typical BS reading was down to 7 point something.
- About August I started on a Low Carb diet, & my Metformin dosage is now down to one pill, twice a day (& a BS reading today was 5.9).
Circulation (- which may or may not be related):
- I've sometimes over the past 2 weeks had breathing issues, felt out of breath.
- At a Dr visit, my oxygen saturation levels were only around 94-96%. (Tried an asthma/hayfever inhaler, no effect. So the cause is not that.)
- I have some "mottling" on my left forearm, which is where the veins appear to be like red beehive cell hexagons. (Sorry, I can't explain it better.)
- According to Google, a possible cause of tinnitus is "Circulation." (Yeah, how?)
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards,
Rosalind
