A member asked:
How concerned should i be with occasional (every few months) postural pulsatile tinnitus (only when laying down/bending over). it stops after 5-10 seconds or immediately if i plug my nose and blow as if to unclog my ears. should i see pcp or ent?

You should see ENT-you may need a head MRI to see what, if any, anatomical cause is present. It may be something that needs further treatment. You may need to see a neurosurgeon, depending on what is seen on the radiologic studies. So, see ENT for further evaluation and treatment. Best of luck to you!
