Hi,
Throbbing sensation in head, hearing heart beat in ears may due to increased pulse pressure (difference between systolic BP and diastolic BP) which may be due to hyper-dynamic circulation (severe anemia, thyroxicosis, AV malformation or fistula) and valvular heart disease like aortic regurgitation. You need a cardiovascular work-up, including 2-D echocardiography.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
