    Recent Pulsatile Tinnitus

    A little update on this. I went to my doctor today for an unrelated reason. I've been noticing one of my pupils being bigger than the other, more noticeable in dimmer light. So, my doctor set me up for an MRI, which is scheduled this Friday. He doesn't think it's anything, but it never hurts to...

    @Karen I hadn't thought about that, but my wisdom tooth has never had any pain or issues. So I'm not sure.

    @Chelles I have my upper left wisdom tooth, it was the only one that ever came in.

    Recent Pulsatile Tinnitus

    So I had my appointment with my primary yesterday. He took a look in my ears and said they looked fine, he even cleaned a bit of wax out for me. He listened to my neck with a stethoscope and said it sounded normal, no turbulent blood I guess. He said it's likely normal, like from muscles...

    @Karen Will do. I actually managed to get an appointment with my primary doctor tomorrow at 8:45 am. Hopefully he can help. Haven't heard any thumping at all today. Not celebrating or anything though, it's actually gone away for a few days before, then popped up again. @MisterMystery I'd been...

    Recent Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Well I called a few ENTs, and got an appointment Friday with an ENT I've never been to. I was just looking for the soonest available. I'm still waiting for my usual ENT's office to call me back and see if they can fit me in tomorrow or Wednesday. At least I got something this week. Hopefully...

    Recent Pulsatile Tinnitus

    I haven't thought of the possibility of it being TMJ. I'm hoping it's something simple/not serious. I can live with it how it is, only showing up randomly. It's so hard to gauge if it's in sync with my heart, since it only really happens in increments. By the time it starts, I'll raise my hand...

    Recent Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Thanks @Karen I hope you're right. It does match my pulse most of the time, actually, but there's a few times when there's an extra pulse between. But it's definitely on and off, most of the time it's not there at all. It gets aggravated if I yawn, or maybe chew. I have a doctors appointment for...

    Thanks, I'll definitely keep my appointments. @Chelles, you said you get middle ear spasms when you yawn, hiccup, etc. Is it ever in both ears, or is it only a single ear? All my thumping has been coming from my left ear, right one is unaffected.

    I was thinking it could be muscle spasms as well, especially since it's not 100% in-sync with my pulse all the time. It's not very rapid though. I've had various muscle spasms in fingers, toes, etc. Even had a bout of eyelid twitching for a few weeks at one point, which I could replicate if I...

    My PT started about 2 weeks ago, give or take. It started one day, a little while after taking a shower. In the shower, I had been cleaning my ears out with my finger (like an idiot) so I figured the sound was maybe some wet earwax that I accidentally shoved into my eardrum. I'm still unsure if...
