Good morning. For over a week now, I have been having a sudden and strange palpitations on my left ear constantly without any way of abating. it only stops for less than 4 seconds when I try to yawn or when I actually yawn. Please it is becoming worrying and I need to know what it is and possibly what I need to do make it stop. Thank you.

Hello,

The main symptom of pulsatile tinnitus is hearing a sound in your ears that seems to match your heartbeat or pulse. You may even be able to take your pulse while you're hearing the sound in your ears.

You may also notice heart palpitations or feelings of lightheadedness. Ear palpitations can also happen due to anxiety.

Therefore I suggest consulting an ENT specialist for physical examination, diagnosis and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand, Psychologist
