Hearing heartbeat while laying down

2023-02-23 16:46:54
I have tinnitus for last 3 years. It was like ringing,buzzing in the ear during the day. It was on and off. But the pulsating tinnitus where I hear the heartbeat while laying down on my sides started after that. It's been like this for more than an year now. It happens only when I lay down in my sides and not my back . I hear it when I lay down on either right or left side. Both sides cause this heartbeat sound in the ear. I can hear the thumping pulsing heartbeat sound. I have jaw and neck pain. And did MRI of tmj. It shows , right sigmoid bulb venous diverticulum. Is this treatable? Is pulsating tinnitus beacuse of this? Is hearing heartbeat while laying down is something serious?

What you experience is known as pulsatile tinnitus The beat or sound is often in synch with your heartbeat.Your MRI report suggest that you have sigmoid bulb venous diverticulum which  cause pressure, blood flow and noise changes within the sigmoid sinus, resulting in pulsatile tinnitus. There are other causes include atherosclerosis You need to consult with ENT doctor and neurologist .
