pulsatile tinnitus

[kristinelorraine]

Has anyone experienced this and it turned out nothing? I made a big mistake of googling ( told it could be aneurysm, tumor, stroke, etc.)
Please can anyone help me. I'm very terrified. The sound is coming from my left ear like a thumping, beating sound and goes in-sync with my heartbeat/ pulse.

I had this and I went to my doctor and turns out my eardrum had gotten stuck due to a slight ear infection. I was given antibiotics and it cleared up!

thanks for the reply. i forgot to mention I've been also having some left temple headache, face and teeth pressure and jaw clicking for months now. the pulsating tinnitus only started couple of days ago. I don't know if they're related but I've read it's more to do with problems in blood pressure than jaw problem and it's scaring me.

Do you deal with seasonal allergies? Because those all sound like potential allergy symptoms save the jaw clicking. My jaw clicked for years and then, one day, it just stopped!

I had that for a while and of course got worried. I spoke with my doctor who said it’s a common occurrence when we’re anxious. Told me it’s happened to her. My wife says she’s experienced it as well.

Importantly, my doctor said that in her career, she has never had this investigated where the reason was vascular (meaning clogged carotid artery, I.e. stroke risk, etc.). I managed to accept her reassurance and one day I just realized how it was gone.

do you get headache, scalp or tooth pressure from your jaw clicking?

Sometimes, yes it would cause headaches!
