A member asked:

Is intermittant pulsitile tinnitus something to worry about? happens in left ear only. after exertion or bending neck way back and to the right.thanks

See ENT: Given your history, it would be wise to consult an otolaryngologist (ENT physician) for further evaluation. They will be able to evaluate this more closely and make a determination whether more significant intervention is required.
