Dear doctors, pls provide guidance on below issue
Had positional vertigo few months back (vertigo only when I slept towards by right side). Did epleys maneuver (4 times), I panicked during excercise and had few vomiting episodes but vertigo stopped. However, Following day onwards I started throbbing pulse throughout, mostly behind head and shoulder and I feel it more when I lay down for sleep.
Neurologist ruled any issue with head after MRI. Cardiologist ruled out heart issues. BP normal.
Would this thorbbing pulse is because of any inner ear issue or infection? Has anyone treated or heard of this before?
Throbbing pulse is like feeling your pulse very hard when I sit or sleep. Especially behind my head and shoulder

Was the Epley’s Manoeuvre performed by a Medical professional? It is essential that the manoeuvre is performed correctly in order to reposition the displaced otoconia back into the vestibule.
Done correctly no such side effect should pursue after Epley’s.
Nevertheless it’s imperative that you consult an ENT specialist physically to rule out causes of pulsatile tinnitus.
