Maybe @Steph1710 can chime in she has pulsatile tinnitus. That can maybe be solved with a scan

@Wrfortiscue thank you, I really really appreciate it. I saw that MRAs can cause tinnitus though, and that the contrast used is very dangerous. I was scheduled for one but I'm thinking it's not worth it at this point, especially since my PT showed up the day after a concert

I kind of suspect IIH but the eye Dr took my pressure measurements and said it's normal. I have history of concussion and whiplash injury so idk. Can't get help.

Also I got a CT scan with contrast less than two months before I got PT for vision going black. They said it was normal. I wonder if that is as good as MRA. Maybe showing it to neurointerventional radiologist would help. Idk.

@dolphinskin I have IIH and my eye pressure is normal. You don’t have to have pressure behind the eyes to have it.

Are you in the UK? Also, can you PT be stopped by pressing anywhere on your neck or behind your ear - perhaps turning your head to one side? MRI/MRA are pretty crap for PT. You need an angiogram with contrast. It’s the only way they can truly see any abnormalities in the vessels.

Also, IIH is a cause of PT. You need to ask for a lumber puncture so they can measure the pressure. They can’t tell just by checking the back of the eyes. Ask me as many questions as you like. :) Have you checked out the “Whooshers” site?
