A member asked:
I have a swooshing sound like my heartbeat in my right ear at night and can't sleep. how can i stop it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
First check BP: the swooshing sound is made by blood flowing through arteries near your inner ear. It can be normal, and if it bothers you, try playing music or the radio to distract your brain. But be sure your blood pressure is normal.
