Pulsating Ear Drum

2018-05-07 03:38:31
I have a heart beat thumping in my right ear and what I found online that matches exactly is (pulsatile tinnitus) I was wondering if this is something to be concerned about. It's been going on for about 5 days and it's usually worse later in the day and night.
