I have a friend who has had tinnitus for a week now with episodes of orthostatic hypotension and his doctor told him to drink more water and add more salt to his diet. Is this good advice? Best answer: Answer by bauerspam I am only in medical school, but these are generally two very different conditions that I have a hard time finding a common cause. If no link can be found, then you treat them separately. Since there is no treatment for tinnitus, he is treating the hypotension. The salt and water is the most basic advice for hypotension. If salt and water does bring up his blood pressure, then he should see a different doctor. Know better? Leave your own answer in the comments! Some ears ringing is brought on by stress or even anxiety and many types of tinnitus could be worsened through stress and anxiety however this won’t mean that there’s nothing that is done regarding it. You do not have for you to suffer with your own tinnitus signs or symptoms for the rest of your lifetime. You
