@Greg Sacramento, got it, thank you so much for the in-depth responses.

@Greg Sacramento, are you saying chronic migraines are a possible cause? I’ve suffered them in the past, but very rarely (a few times a year). They’re much more severe (extreme headache, seeing spots) and they fade away within an hour or two. Unlike these throbbing headaches, which crop up every...

@Greg Sacramento, no, a doctor hasn’t done that. Maybe I should ask them to next time. Although, to be fair, I don’t have any Temporal Arteritis symptoms (unless the headaches count).

@Greg Sacramento, I didn’t receive any images from the folks who performed my scans—do you think I could obtain them? Thanks for the feedback, by the way. I understand this issue could stem from any number of conditions.

@Greg Sacramento, I’m sorry, but I’m not sure what you mean by your first question. The scans I listed are the only ones I’ve undergone. And I’m a side sleeper, so the pulsing primarily occurs when the side of my head is against the pillow, not the back of it. I’ve had a doctor and a...

@Michael Leigh, got it, that makes sense. I was exposed to loud noise at a concert about a month before my tinnitus started, and the headaches started about a month later. And yes, I do use headphones on a daily basis, so that might contribute to it as well. Thanks again for your informative...

@ajc, thank you, that's good to know.

@Michael Leigh, thank you for the help! If I may ask, do you have any ideas about what may be causing the headaches? I have to think they're related to the tinnitus, and I'm much more concerned about them than the ringing.

Hey everyone! This is my first post on Tinnitus Talk and I just want to say I think it's awesome that this resource exists and that everyone is so supportive on here. I started experiencing tinnitus in September of last year--a mild, tinny ringing in both of my ears--and then started getting...
