That sounds awful, I am going to see an ENT in 2 weeks and I am so nervous about letting them do anything to my ears. I definitely don't want them to put any drops in of any kind!

@Rudy what is Debrox? I have PT, not regular T, but my ears one day out of no where felt congested and have been pulsing ever since! :(

Very cute boxer! I have two, they are the best!

Hi @Karen, one more question for you if you have a moment. Is it normal for the pulsating to increase with heartrate and exercise? For instance after walking or running up a flight of stairs the pulsing is so strong and fast it is a pounding I can feel it in my entire head. Is that normal, or...

Hi @Karen Thanks again for your insight, it is so reassuring! I have done some bloodwork and am back to my doctor to review on Wednesday evening. I will continue to post about any findings and progress. Thanks for all the support! Danielle

About a month ago I started having PT. The anxiety I had was so high when the pulsing started, I was in sheer panic mode thinking something horrible was happening to me. A friend of mine recommended Acupuncture for anxiety. I have been 3 times (once a week for 3 weeks), and although the pulsing...

@Karen do you know if it is normal to feel a bit of lightheadedness or a little dizzy from the PT? I also feel like the pulsing goes up the side of my head and gives me a bit of pain/headache up the side which feels weird. Any insight you can lend is great, thank you!

@Kaelon thank you for the information, that is good to know that benzos are not known to cause T or PT. I only took them for a very short time so was unsure if they could be the culprit. You seem like a wealth of knowledge, thank you for being so educating to newbies like myself! @Danny Boy not...

@billie48 I just wanted to say what an inspirational post! I also new to PT and am struggling so much, I found your post incredibly inspiring that it does get better! Thank you for that! Also from the Vancouver, Canada area so it's comforting to know there are people everywhere in the same boat.

@Nole I also thought mine may be due to ETD because it first started with an intense pressure/plugged feeling in my ears that went down but the pulsing has not stopped. I also noticed when I push on veins on my neck the pulsing stops. I am curious if you can stop yours by pushing like that...

@Kaelon I know this is an old post but I am new here, so am just going through other people's threads. I just wanted to mention that I also had taken about 1 week worth of 0.5mg Ativan when I developed pulsatile tinnitus 4 weeks ago. I was on it for a very short period of anxiety that I was...

Hi Everyone - Found this forum in my endless search for information on why I am hearing pulsing in my head which started about 4 weeks ago. And what a relief it was to find a group of people enduring the same thing. It's amazing how much just not feeling alone is something that helps you cope...

@Karen thank you for the kind words of encouragement! I have also requested to be referred to an ENT, I would like to have my ears and hearing checked just as a precaution. But I agree that the bloodwork and ultrasound are a good place to start. I did a bit of research today for Tinnitus...
