Pulsating tinnitus?

So today I made the long journey to Tulsa OK from Houston to start training at my new job.


I drove and made multiple stops to walk, eat and go to the bathroom. 8
Hours later I am in my hotel bed now.

But I noticed something interesting on my way up, getting bored I start to turn my head left and right and look in the opposite direction. When I did this (especially when I put strain on the right side of my head) I had slight pulsating tinnitus in both my ears. But it only lasted a couple of heart beats and was okay.

in a previous post from last week I went to the ER for sex headaches (which are gone now), but I did get an EKG, and CT Angiogram done to check out my head and blood vessels to my head and in it. Nothing was found and I followed up with my neuro and stated it was just sex migraines and nothing else.

Also, since I quarantined myself after the ER last week I haven’t been able to take my citalopram for a week now. Stopped cold turkey by accident.


anyone else have this? It only happens when I turn my eyes to the right (far right, like straining) or my head in the same way.

I know with the ER visit it can’t be anything in my head. Is it anxiety? Normal? Off my meds? Stress?

I went to the doctor about this. I have it only in the right ear, when my heart rate increases like when I exercise or get really anxious. And it gets louder when I turn my head to the right. My GP said it's nothing though. Could be anxiety.
