Tinnitus and pulsating Heartbeats in your ears!

I am a 70 year old woman who has experienced migraines since age of 14. Earlier this year I started getting tinnitus and heavy pulsating heartbeat in my ear ( just one) ! It’s very concerning and strange. The headache I understand but these new symptoms are awful! Anyone else had this?

  1. Hi - I have heard of this before, and experienced a few times myself. As far as I know, for me it was pulsatile tinnitus. There was a thread about the topic made by . Perhaps they would be willing to share their experience more. You can also find their post here: https://migraine.com/forums/pulsatile-tinnitus.

    Do you feel like this resonates with your experience? Or do you think it might be something else? - Cody (Team Member)

    1. Hi
      Thank you for sharing your story. It's important to note when we have new and/or different symptoms it's always a good idea to let our provider know so they can make sure everything checks out OK.
      Tinnitus is a fairly common migraine symptom, but again, when it's new it's important to discuss with the doctor because there are a number of other things this could be.
      Please keep us posted and I'm sending you wishes for a low pain day, Nancy Harris Bonk, Patient Leader/Moderator (team member)
