Hearing Your Own Heart Beat Posted: 09-05-06 14:43pm
I can hear my heart beat in my left ear
when it is quiet, lying down or even
sitting up. Is this normal or is it an
indication of some medical problem? I am
69 and still actively working as an over
the road truck driver. Blood pressure is
usually around 145 over 88 approximately.
Has anyone else ever experienced or heard
of this phenomenom?

That's nothing you should really be
concerned about, it's known as pulsatile
tinnitus, there is a topic about it
here...

has your doctor mentioned anything about
your blood pressure, as it sounds as if
it's slighty on the high side...?

Im sure you have found the answer by now
..or then again maybe not.I started
experiencing this over a year ago. I
researched it and researched it and found
many explanations and also found
nothing.The doctors think its related to
the arteries or sinus or allergies or head
injury or just a fluke. I have been told
that 3 percent of the world has this weird
problem and most causes are unknown.I have
read where people just recently just
started having it and then I have heard
where people had it all their lives . Some
very old. I also have been told that older
people is the largest compliant of this..
due probably to hardening of the arteries.
I went to two doctors one a gp and the
other a ent.They ran test ,rather
expensive test ..their
conclusion..stress..although I am not
under stress.The only stress was from the
anxiety the noise caused.They did tell me
however that I had a benign murmur but
told me there was no concern.I have read
thousands and thousands of people
complaining about this and more is known
about it than was a few years ago but
still people are in the dark as to what
causes this and some have even had surgery
but still had the sound.The causes
included was weight loss, ear wax, tube
closings, artery damage,arteries mangled
,arteries constricted, murmur , etc..
weird but true ..To put it simply..I
really don't think you have much to worry
about. I have had it a year and I haven't
died yet.I met a doctor that had it since
he was born and is retired and says that
we will never find our answer in a "white
coat" he said just try to ignore it ,but
yet he finds it soothing saying it reminds
him he is alive..Good luck to you and try
not to worry ..
