A member asked:

I'm wondering why can i feel my heart beat in my head and hear it? does it have anything to do with headaches?

Heart beat in head: Either you might be suffering from high blood pressure or cerebtral anuerysms or feeling carotid upstrokes. You need physician consultation for correct diagnosis and treatment.

It could: If you have migraines, it would be expected that you could feel your heart beating in your head as a manifestation of your headache which is typically described as "throbbing" or "pounding.".
