A member asked:
Is there a treatment for internal carotid artery (tortuous) with left ear constant whooshing, mitral valve prolapse too?

Yes : For the noise in your ear they make noise damper devices. There is no medication in surgery would do a lot more harm than good as long as the blood flows normal in your Carotid artery. As far as mitral valve prolapse and you do have to have more information from your doctor cardiologist regarding treatment in most prolapse and without Regurgitation mitral valve does not require any treatment

Each one to itself: Each one of these problems is treated separately Teh whooshing may not be the carotid. This may be from the pulse in the ear. The carotid needs to be studied with ultrasound. The mitral prolapse is usually benign. You need to see your doctor and get this worked out. Best wishes..
