Heartbeat In Left Ear
Posted: 01-13-07 19:42pm

Hi, I am a 22 y/o female and I have been having this constant heartbeat in my left ear for about 4 months now. I believe it all started after I had a spinal tap and following that I had a epidural blood patch done. Im trying to figure out why all of this is happening. It gets louder and louder all the time and keeps me from going to bed at night. If anyone has any helpful information please feel free to relay it to me.

Heartbeat Heard In Ears.

I had the same problem, everytime I would lay down to sleep I could hear my heartbeat so loud I couldn't sleep. I heard it in both ears but more so in one than the other.
2 things I did. First I changed my pillow from the down pillow I was using to a regular pillow. Second I started taking a low dose of hbp medicine.
I take 5mg of lisinpril.
Now I can sleep at night without hearing any heartbeats.
I don't know if this is relevent to your case but I thought it worth mentioning. I'll never use down pillows again. Lol

take care!
