He thinks I have pulsatile tinnitus. Did not go swimming of flying befor this happened. He wants me to see and ENT first. ENT office says I need an appointment with the Audiologist first. First available appointment with an audiologist is May 17. BP is like 124/68 plus I excercise 5 days a week.
I've used a Q-tip for 58+ years. I grew up on a farm so I dealt with a lot of debris in my life, so I think I may know little about using a Q-Tip the proper way. Plus he found nothing that would suggest an infection or trauma when he check them. Right now typing this, I have no pulsing in my ear. It's really weird. When I went to bed last night it went away. This morning it started back up.
Huh, blood in the ear canal isn’t regularly a symptom of PT which in and of itself is a bit rare. Is the pulsing aligning with your heartbeat or coming after exercise that increased your heart rate? That’s usually a good indicator of PT.
Btw wasn’t implying you didn’t know how to use a Q-tip just that most people actually don’t and we get issues with that as an underlying cause of ear related issues all the time.
Also interesting that when you went to bed it went away, did it start back up in bed or once you were up moving.
Apologies for asking so many questions, you obv don’t owe me any answers or need to share info publicly like this. Just an interesting presentation.
Love the itty-bitty one at 1.11 that almost gets there then a bigger one in a blue jacket bumps him off just as he's jumping to the food platform. Of course, the blue jacket misses the jump too!
Student line at Hilton has rounded the first corner on the northeast.
Like I said the Dr is stumped. The pulse is aligning with my heart beat, thus he thought it might have been some sort of anuerysm. One of the questions he did ask was what it was like laying down. This morning it started up again. Just had a physical and blood work the end of January and nothing was out of the ordinary. Ear canals were fine. I can hear fine just the overtone of the pulsing in left ear.
Yeah the pulse aligning is good indicator of PT or an aneurysm. You have a good PCP it sounds like, very thorough.
Ive been missing for a while, gonna take some time to catchup. or i will just start now,,,better idea,,,
I perforated an ear drum during my bachelor party weekend. Also almost died on the same weekend so probably marriage saved me from myself. blood on the pillow was the telltale sign as well as the pain. antibiotics took care of it. glad you have a diagnosis.
So, shirtless?KC sorry I will miss your cupcakes tonight. hope its an awesome crowd and game. btw I'm joining the Papa Lew look alike contest. Not quite to pony tail yet but same color
You can't shave the shirt area if you want to look like Lew. That is KC's "garden of fun".
Okay, I think I crossed the line...
Pics or I won't believe you!KC sorry I will miss your cupcakes tonight. hope its an awesome crowd and game. btw I'm joining the Papa Lew look alike contest. Not quite to pony tail yet but same color
And it's brownies, not cupcakes. Cupcakes are too hard to smuggle!
I've had some brief episodes of pulsating tinnitus but fortunately if I laid on the opposite side it lessened and it went away in a few days.
On the heels of the talk here about people asking you to reach something for them, it happened in the locker room at the gym today. Different though, old guy had dropped his keys and asked me if I could grab them for him since he had trouble reaching to the floor. So, old man me helped out my fellow old guy.
