[QUOTE="rosalindp, post: 1588305, member: 422678"] 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: [LIST] [*]Before June this year I had high (-Ok, very, [U]very[/U] 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). [/LIST] Circulation (- which may or may not be related): [LIST] [*]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?) [/LIST] Thank you for your help. :-) Kind regards, Rosalind Joke: [I]Boss to Employee: "Wilson, I want you to stop wearing those nice suits to work. People might start to think that you're somebody important."[/I] [/QUOTE]
