Pulse/beating in one ear

Hi

I have recently noticed a pulsing/beating in one of my ears and I am worried.

I have read online this could be caused by carotid artery problems

I am also quite anxious and a bit stressed at the moment but I doubt this would be a cause.

Safe to say im just not feeling great all round atm.

Thanks

Stop reading stuff online if it scares you.


It's common.

Hmm thanks, it seem to come and go especially goes when im not focusing on it and I also don't think it's in sync with my pulse

I have this. Had it for years. Funnily enough it went nuts during my nervous breakdown and, like you, I Googled...

Me: Am I dying?
ENT Consultant: Not because of your tinnitus, you're not.
