Tinnitus

Does anyone have pulsatile tinnitus as well as migraine ?

  1. Interesting question, - I have not experienced this but was able to find a couple of mentions from our community on the topic that may be of help: https://migraine.com/forums/positional-migraines-pain-goes-away-when-lying-down and: https://migraine.com/forums/migraine-from-cetain-head-neck-or-shoulder-maneuvers. Is this something you are experiencing? Warmly- Holly migraine.com team

    1. Yes I have that as well as migraines just wondering if there's a connection


      1. Great question! Yes, I believe there is a connection between the two. We've heard from many who experience both and may increase during a migraine attack. We have more information on tinnitus and migraine here; https://migraine.com/blog/tinnitus.

      2. Here is another great resource. https://americanmigrainefoundation.org/resource-library/understanding-migrainetinnitus-and-headache/ Hoping it helps. I fall into this group as I too have tinnitus; it's terribly bothersome. Hoping to find some help to ease the symptoms. Warmly - Rebecca (community moderator)

    2. I have tinnitus along with my migraines. You are not alone.

      1. awful isn't it that alone is hard to deal with

      2. Truly difficult. Thanks for sharing - wishing you the best of health this holiday season. Warmly - Rebecca (community moderator)

    3. Thanks so much for bringing up this topic, . I do experience pulsatile tinnitus, but not terribly often. Most often I experience it while lying down, and it's like I can constantly hear my heart beat. It's super annoying and distracting while trying to sleep. I wish that I knew if there was a solution 🙁. Crossing my fingers that more people will chime in on the conversation, and that we'll be able to make sense of it all with more opinions.
