Ibuprofen is a non steroidal anti inflammatory NSA. Unfortunately they can cause serious tinnitus. I have had to discontinue their use because it made my tinnitus worse. The same goes for aspirin. Tylenol is preferred for me at any rate. Not as strong as ibuprofen though. Tylenol 1 or 2 contains codine, another no-no for us poor folks with the never ending noise of tinnitus. Amitripyline has also been flagged as a possible culprit but I find it’s ok for me. Have you tried cannabis for your headaches?You can get a prescription from your doctor for it that doesn’t include the recreational drug effect.

@willows Hi. Thanks for the insight. The tinnitus started before the Amitriptyline but it could certainly be the IBU as I've taken that for several years. Along with the tinnitus, I have rumbling in my ears and can hear my pulse as it rumbles (hard to explain the noise) and blurred/double vision. I have a telehealth appointment with my neurologist this afternoon and will talk through all the possible scenarios. I'd hate to do a brain angiogram if I don't need to but also want to be thorough. I have a CBD/THC blend that I take occasionally to help me sleep. It doesn't give me any of the "high" and since it helps me sleep, I can assume it helps my headaches too. 🙂 I can't take it during the day though because it interferes with my workday. I also tried the Emgality injection for my headaches but it didn't have any positive impact.
