Question: I hear what sounds like snare drums in my head.

The sound comes and goes. I don't think anything triggers it or reduces it. No headaches. About 1 1/2 yrs ago, I started taking the tramadol. It seems that shortly after, I got very nauseous, lost my appetite for a few months, had rapid weight weight loss (about 40lbs in 3-5 months), I only took the tramadol for a short time (1-2mo). My memory has never been that good but since taking tramadol, I think of something that I need to do, start to do it, and forget what I was going to do. I have to write myself notes or I forget just about everything. I've had mild dizziness for several yrs but thought it was a side effect of my medications. No visual disurbances, no ear pain but my right ear doesn't drain the wax out like it used to. My life has always been very stressful and I work 10-12 hrs a day, 5-6 days per week. Thank you.
