i'm so afraid of pulsatile tinnitus. i was afraid i heard something last night and it started to come over me. it's very quiet, it usually seems to be heard from the head rather than the ear itself, and is inconstant (usually i'm certain it is there only in the evenings or when i remember it in a relaxed state). my gp told me that my ear drums are both healthy (she says it is stress hormones and i need a counselor loll- there is def some truth to this because i got new symptoms exactly 3 days before the autumn term starts for the last 2 yrs!)
but i'm worried it could be vascular.
my fear stems from my pupils which seem to contract and dilate under the influence of my pulse. i've had a stiff neck and tension headache on the same side since nov 6 2017, and eating anti inflammatory foods e.g. tomatoes seems 2 placate my symptoms. i have pcos & have had some mental health issues for the past 4-8 years
it's not so much that im afraid of ms or temporal arteritis but it's just so alarming from moment to moment, and i feel horribly paralysed and helpless.. i'd rather it was one thing or another loll xD
has anybody experienced a pulse in their ear? did u find resolution? how did you cope and get better?
thank u xx
