Could be some side effects of the meds Shaun or perhaps your anxiety is up? I get the pulsating niose in my ear too when laying on my side, it is very annoying. Sounds like palpitations too....all the usual symptoms of anxiety I would say. Make sure you tell your doctor exactly how you are feeling, write a list of your symptoms before you go so you don't forget anything. He/she is the best person to advise you.

Good luck, I hope you feel better soon :hugs: x
