What Causes Pulsating Sensation In The Ear While Suffering From Severe Headache?

I have pulse I can hear in my ear for about two months now. My GP said it was nothing. I had MRI six weeks ago bc of intense head aches that I had for about 4-5 days for about two hrs per day. The mri said I had minimal inflammation of Mastoid air cells. Head aches never came back. But pulse is there. Plus I ve had an arm pit rash for six weeks that won t go away

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pulsating sensation in the ear while suffering from severe headache . The symptoms like headache and pulsating sensation in ear and point towards meniere's disease or migraine. Sometimes condition like tinnitus or cluster headache can also cause such symptoms. I would suggest you to take antihistamine and anticholinergic drugs like meclizine and scopolamine. You should take oral broad spectrum Antibiotics to treat the ear infection. Put anti-inflammatory ear drops. You should maintain complete hygiene of ear canal. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined , who may order CT scan , rotatory chair test along with taking history.Doctor may also recommend hearing aid , meniett device , steroid injection or vestibular therapy . Also consult neurologist for migraine type of problem . Avoid bending forward and drink green tea with ginger thrice a day . Apply dry warm compresses on ear.
