Suggest Treatment For Tinnitus
Question: what does a swishing pulsating noise/heartbeat that I can hear inside indicate?
Brief Answer:
Tinnitus...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The swishing pulsating noise/heartbeat that you hear inside your ear is called "Tinnitus" and is related to possible:
- inner ear problems
- high blood pressure
- carotid (neck blood vessels) issues
- neurological problems
I advise to:
- monitor your blood pressure, record the results and pass them to your doctor for further evaluation
- get examined by ENT specialist
- get further neurological examination
in order to determine the right cause and proper treatment.
Hope it helped!
