Constant Thumping In My Neck ,Head,Or Ears,I Really Can't Tell Where Its Coming From But Worries Me?

Question

uFor the last four or five months I have had the sound of my heart thumping in my head,neck,or somewhere close enough to hear it.Its fairly constant but seems to slow down or almost cease when im at rest.When I get up some mornings its booming I can hear my heartbeat pounding and sometimes it last most the day this way or sometimes its only for a little while.I hear different volumes of it on different days and although I can usually not hear it when I put my fingers in my ears , I have had an ent tell me its Patulous ET..Where the tubes don't open and close like they should and thats why I have the sound of my pulse in my head.I also have tmj.I would tend to agree with him but at night I have a vein that I can feel behind my head that feels like its pushing up and down.The ENT checked me for tumors,and artery blockages and doesn't seem to be anything like that but It really worries me and some days I can hear my heartbeat just like I have a stethoscope on.The beat doesn't sound normal

Please don't advise me to go to another doctor.We live in a very small place and are limited to the number of phsyians here.If you are in the medical field and have direct knowledge of this symptom please advise or if you are a preson that has expeienced something like this and know it to be benign please advise..Thanks in advance for any thing you can tell me .

Had Two Doctors Tell me that I didn't need additonal test that it was post tramatic stress disorder and nerves.They did tell me that I had a murmur but insisted that it was nothing not anything that had to be tested?

Answer 1

I hear it too, but not constantly. It mainly is when I have held my respiration for a while or while at the gym or doing some sort of cardio or other physical activity. I don't believe its dangerous, after all, you are just hearing yopur heart beat.
Best of luck to you

Answer 2

i dunno..but somtimes when im laying on my side with my ear to the pillow..i hear the pulse inside my ear..and a swishing noise..like the blood being pumped around...scary...so i move to a different position so i cant hear it...maybe you got realy a strong pulse

Answer 3

get your blood pressure checked when my bp goes up i can hear the thumping in my ears and neck. you likely need to be on bp meds.
