A member asked:

When i lay done and stretch i can hear a whooshing sound if my heart in my ear is that bad? i also have mild palpitations

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pulsatile tinnitus: this sounds like your are troubled by pulsatile tinnitus. this has a list of cause , mostly benign. I would recommend that you see your doctor when you have time (not urgent...no ER needed). sometimes we evaluate the blood vessels in head/neck with MRI/MRA to make sure nothing is going on to cause your symptoms

A member asked:

Hi, Since a week ago, I noticed that I can hear a beat sound (like a fast heart rate) when I am in bed with my ear on the pillow. Seems to be a faster beat than my heart rate and I stop hearing it as soon as I change the position of my head. Thank?
