Pulsatile tinnitus

Have no clue as to why it has returned however will say it did so slowly over a period of years. Wen many years w/o any occurrence a all and then it started again every so often as time passed it became more frequent. So annoying but keep telling my self it could be worse and just grateful it isn't every day.
Here's hoping your never returns.

@morninglory Ive had tinnutis for years but as Ive aged it seems to be continuous Its in one ear and buzzes all the time I was also diagnosed with meniers but did you find any relief? My symptoms sound like yours with the pressure in head so b ch I have headaches.

Whenever I have had a Meniere's episode it involves severe vertigo, loud ear ringing, pressure in one ear and nausea but so far I've not had headaches. I was put on a low salt diet and water pills, but had to stop water pills as they affected my kidneys negatively. I understand that that is the usual first step of remedy for Meniere's, so far I guess it is working to some degree as have episodes diminish somewhat, not completely but I'll take what I can get. The ear ringing seems to be with me 75% of the time, I try to ignore it, sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. Keep telling myself things could be worse and just being grateful they aren't!@

@morninglory I did have vertigo but did ear exercises and that seemed to help One thing I got that helped also was going of dairy but I love white cheese I did switch to almond milk but sitting here today its buzzing but your right things could be worse

Could you elaborate on ear exercises? I'll try anything to prevent vertigo episodes. Will appreciate any info. Thanks in advance

@morningglory Sit on bed count to 30 lay on left side with head turned up ,30ct ,sit up same then lay then on right side head turned to ceiling ct 30 P.T will do this also what this does is corrected the crystals in ear from what I understand .This worked for me let me know

Thanks so much for your reply. I was tested for the problem of crystals becoming dislocated in the ear by a physical therapist and unfortunately for me that is not the problem. It was one test I had hoped to fail!

Did your scans show the fistula and what were your symptoms besides the whooshing, I’m waiting to see the NIR for next steps on cerebral angiogram, they found some mild stenosis of the left transverse sinus but not sure what that’s is

My first episode occurred during the night. The swishing sound woke me several nights in a row and I actually went outside at 2am to check the irrigation system and on another night to check the water level in the swimming pool. The sound soon changed to constant loud rapid thumping and continued for a year before I was able to consult my cardiologist. It was maddening and kept me from sleeping. I eventually was prescribed Losartan and Metropolol for high blood pressure. Now, another year has gone by and my heart beat has slowed and so has the thumping, which I rarely notice during the day. It does thump at night. I think my problem was caused because I stopped daily aspirin after 30 years. None of my physicians comment on this supposition, however. The thumping did start shortly after I quit taking the aspirin. Trying to decide next step. Thank you for your comments.
