Educator With Hissing Problems

by Chris
(Chicago)

Hi. I am taking an antidepressant and Flomax. A few months ago I started taking fish oil tablet (one /day). For about the same period I am having constant hissing in my ears. I can't tell what it's from. Could it be from the fish oil pills? I was okay before.
I am debating cutting it out for awhile and see if it changes.
Anyone can provide some thoughts or had the same problems?

Thanks.

Answer:
Hi Chris. If I were in your situation I would eliminate the possibility that the fish oil you recently added could be the cause of the problem. I would stop taking it for a week or two. Then I would restart at a higher dose ( the dose you are actually taking is too small to have real benefits in your health), for example, 3.000 mg of fish oil per day, close to 900 mg of total omega 3 fats (EPA plus DHA from the label). This should eliminate the doubts fish oil is causing the hissing in your ears.

Let me add some other ideas that may benefit your health but that mean a change in eating and exercise habits (very difficult to implement but that could positively impact your life).

First, If you eliminate grains and grain oils from your diet, you will eliminate a source of many health disorders, from obesity, heart disease, insomnia, etc . You also eliminate the possibility that the anti nutrients grains have could be aggravating or causing mood disorders in your case. You could at least try for 2 or 3 weeks (it may take that long) to avoid all derivates from wheat, maize and soy, the main sources of those anti nutrients (toxics grains have as part of their defense system). You could start a diet rich in fruits, raw vegetables, all proteins, eggs, and dairy, and see how you feel. You may surprise yourself.

Second, start a 30 minutes per day exercise program. This not only will get you vitamin D from the sun (critical for your mood, brain and heart health) but will benefit all aspects of your life. If you have been without exercise for a long time, this may look as strange to you as Chinese but try it for 30 days and tell me how you feel at the end of it.
