Question 3

why do i wake up each morning feeling hungover? i haven't drank a drop of alcohol in over two years, i also can hear a  pulsating noise in my head

Accepted Answer

Migraines:  you are waking up with a migraine headache. It may just be something prone to,perhaps it may happen because you're not getting a good night sleep. For example, individuals with sleep apnea do not get enough oxygen at night when they're sleeping, and just wake up with amigraine. I would go see a neurologist. If you're tired during the day, you may need a sleep study.

Question 4

i was in a accident in hs, since then i have had bad headaches,more so last 2 years sometimes i hear high pitch pulsating. should i get this checked?

Accepted Answer

Yes get evaluated: You most likely re arranged your head over neck. A 3D CT of the cervical spine will,show Atlanto.  -occipital  mis alignment. Osteopathic docs and chiropractors have been trained to assess this during the exam. Examine your own neck range of motion to see if it limited. After 20 years muscles have probably shrunk, but Botox has been very helpful. PMR docs and neurologists can help.

Question 5

i often hear a pulsating/swishing sound in the back of my head (has happened for over a year). could this indicate an aneurism or other serious issue?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely to be: anything more than wax build up in your ears but certainly if it worries you I would suggest you make an appointment with a health care provider to give you a thorough evaluation. He/She will want to know more about your family history and will want to examine you. Unlikely you will need testing if a thorough examination is made.

Question 6

hello. is it normal to hear sounds in my head? could this be due to over stress and anxiety? i hear a pulsating sound when i have migraines.

Accepted Answer

Maybe: It is not normal to hear sounds but pulsatile migraines may be related to the sound you hear. However, you should see your neurologist for evaluation since pulsating noises can be associated with vascular pathology.

Question 7

sometimes hear ringing heartbeat in ears lying down at night. not present at other times, when standing in quiet room hear mild tinnitus but doesnt pulsate. google has scared me. is pulsatile tinnitus only lying down, not every night, a concern?

Accepted Answer

: While pulsatile tinnitus is also usually benign, it can be associated with potentially serious blood vessels abnormalities within the brain. For this reason I recommend that you consult an ENT specialist for advice.

Question 8

hi doctors my problem is that i can hear my pulsationmy heart sound very loud when i lay in the bed in my ears n i feel that my whole body pulsating?

Accepted Answer

Some people: Are very sensitive to their heartbeats which can be felt and heard as you describe when laying down in a quiet place. It is normal. Don't be worried!

Question 9

i press my neck and hear blood flow in left ear, not pulsating.not in my right. though my right ear bruises up with sound. afraid of some blood cloth.

Accepted Answer

See your Dr: While a 21yo male, if healthy, is unlikely to have "blood clot" issue, what you describe might be related to the vessels, and should be evaluated further to be certain. See your dr, might be able to clear issue with exam, or ultrasound or other test. Meanwhile, stop pushing on your neck ;).
