Pulsating Tinnitus — Help Me

Hi, Nonna,

That's an interesting thought! If you try it, please let me know if it works for you.

The things that seem to help me the most are exercise, which helps keep my blood pressure at its best, magnesium, and NAC (N-acetylcistene).

How long have you had PT, and do you also have regular tinnitus along with it? Have you had any tests to try to determine a cause?

Best wishes,
Karen

 

Hmm! Maybe the fluid in your ear has something to do with your intermittent PT. My pulsating and ringing are both constant. Since you know yours is caused by fluid in the ear, has your doctor been able to prescribe anything for you? Or do you just have to wait for the fluid to drain by itself?

 

Hi, again, Nonna,

I've heard that it may take quite awhile for middle ear fluid to drain, and I hope that will resolve your pulsating. However, if it doesn't, my suggestion would then be to seek out another doctor who is a specialist, such as a neurotologist or neurologist. They know a great deal more about pulsatile tinnitus, and may then suggest some tests to determine a possible cause.

Good luck, and please keep me posted on how you're progressing with the fluid drainage.

Best wishes,
Karen
