Thank you for moving me to the correct group. I have been trying to figure out how to do that. My thumping heartbeat inside my head (both ears) began as a swishing sound, In fact, I went outside at 2:30 in the morning two years ago to see if my irrigation system had come on or if the water level in my swimming pool was below the skimmer! After the swishing changed to rapid, loud thumps, I realized it was in my ears. I spent a year trying to get an appt. with my cardiologist of many years. His nurse practitioners said I was “fine”. I have now seen my original cardiologist (who trained at Mayo), snd also an otolaryngologist, and am now trying to determine my next step. Meanwhile the thumping improved after being prescribed Metoprolol and Losartan, but has since returned.
