had disc rem. & fusion 12/12/12. I was told 12/13 that a spacer had shifted and surgery needs redone. I have been debating...have been in pain since surgery & now have headaches and some numbness in my arm. For the last two weeks my blood pressure has been 150 s to 170 s and ears are ringing like crazy.
Hi, Pain can increase blood pressure. taking the pressure at multiple times including having a 24 hr monitoring of it would tell how much blood pressure there is. Without an exam, I can only give general information, and there is increased risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney failure above 150 certainly. Sometimes it can cause ringing in the ears. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
