Pulsatile Tinnitus and Exercise

I have tinnitus and pulsatile tinnitus. Every time I workout outside, (running, pushups, abs/sit-ups) both my ringing and pulsatile tinnitus spike for a few seconds, but recently its mostly been the pulsing that has been a bother. My heart beat is heard so much louder, and I can feel the blood punping in my ears. The same thing happens when I've been lying in bed for a long time, and immediately get up and start walking. Is it normal that this happens? I'm wondering if this is also bad for my tinnitus condition, should I not be working out?

I'm also wondering if its normal for my ears to pop sometimes whenever I swallow...(its been getting better but still happens) I've heard that a hair cell dies every pop, so I am concerned. I also hear clicks in my head whenever I run...

Working out was one of the things helping me take my mind off the ringing, and making me feel healthier, but if it is worsening my condition. I am not sure as to what to do.

 

Popping when swallowing is normal as by doing so you are equalizing pressure on both sides of the ear drum. I don't see why it would kill a hair cell (only one? ) when you do that.

I hear you about not being able to do the thing that takes your mind off of T (I'm a musician).

 

Hi, it is great to hear that your condition has been getting better to live with in time. I do not have hearing loss yet, but I will most likely be at risk for it unless I keep protecting my ears like I have been ^_^ Yes, same for me the PT and T has been getting better in time, but I'm starting to feel this fullness and low hum in my left ear again, have you had this also? It's what bothers me the most now because I can feel pressure being pushed in from that ear >.>

 

Ah yes, being a musician and having these conditions make it really hard. I do suggest keeping up with your passion though, as I still am but I take very frequent breaks now ^_^ It pops only when I swallow a certain way I believe, it used to be really bad but thankfully only pops sometimes now, is it normal for ears to click when running though? :c

 

Try moving your bottom jaw out when it start.

 

You can also try an upper cervical chiropractor.

 

I haven't gone. I just started TMJ treatment with a neuromuscular dentist. My splint comes in about 2 weeks, and only on PT under my belt. nothing yet, I guess my jaw is a bit looser but I'm most worried about the T, vertigo and brain zaps. My Doc says they are all most likely TMJ related and could be fixed in under a year or 2. Say on top of my TMJ may jaw is in a very bad position, so just a bit of fluid from TMJ pushes up the inner ear. seems like a long time to wait. 2 years is a long time to wait for a could be, but its the best reply I've got from an MD

 

You guys are scaring me is this an unrelated problem? ;o Sorry to hear about what you're going through/have gone through. Is it really a bad thing though that my ears pops occasionally when I swallow or get clicks in my head? Like I get them everyday, but not everytime I do it. I'm hoping it's not doing any harm to my ears

 

How long did it take for your fullness/low frequency hum to go away? For me it's been lasting longer hours throughout the day, now only a 2 hour period in which it is not happening...think it increases when im lying down too which sucks cus i cant sleep sometimes...

Its low level hum but also has the normal ringing that fades in and out as well...(also louder than usual sometimes)

Hopefully it will go away and just go back to normal tinnitus....
