Hi, @jacoblamb. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I moved your question to this discussion, where you can receive input from others who've experienced CVST, like @fowler0822, @jprenewed78, @gtownsend, and @egee19, or who have shared something related to a blood clot in the brain, like @denzie and @maryfrances91.

You mentioned when you wake up is a time where you experience ear fluttering and thumping, and sometimes irregular whooshing sounds. Are you noticing any other patterns for when you experience these symptoms?
