Also there was a constant drip of fluid from the left side of my head down to my left ear. I stopped med after 2 weeks. I was treated for a ear infection 1 month later. I was seen in the ER for chest pain. Saw my primary during those first 2 weeks he felt it was the flu and my imagination. The left side of my head felt like it was closed up. Had ringing in my ears and decreased hearing, which was verified by hearing test. The ringing has lessened a lot over the past 2 years. Changed primary doctors and now on losartan hct and amlodipine, no side effects and controls bp.
