OK... this may sound wierd, but I've been meaning to ask some of you wise folk out here, and I keep forgetting. But it just happened again, and I got up out of bed to post this.
For the past couple weeks, when I first lie down to go to sleep, I keep hearing a bruit in my ears !!! Really loud and rushing... like my carotids swooshing in my ears. And it's really starting to bug me. I can't remember ever hearing that in the past. ???
Any thoughts? Both ears... either side. Will wane after a period of time.. or maybe I just fall asleep and don't hear it anymore.. can't say. Never hear it when I'm upright, though. ???
Thanx for any input... will TRY to get some sleep now... ("swooosh, swooosh, swooosh").... :stone
Im glad you went to the doc and she is on top of things.
I had the heartbeat in my left ear for 3 months during my pregnancy...then it just went away at about 8 months. My ENT doc said I should follow up if I still had it after delivery. I did have a CT scan done and it said I had a "descient jugular bulb"...whatever that means! He never did explain it to me so I assumed it was nothing.
A few months ago..it came back. Every night for the last 3 months I lay in bed...trying to go to sleep over the sound of my own heartbeat. Its kinda soothing LOL
But I wish I knew what it was! I also have CDH and TMJ...and I know tinnitus is common with TMJ...so I chalked it up to that.
I had high BP after my baby was born (almost 2 yrs ago) but it eventually went down to normal after being on meds for 6 months or so. Its still normal...so I dont think that is what is causing it.
I will be interested in what your doc finds out. Good luck!
Me, too.. have always loved a push mower. Something very soothing about pushmowing the yard. Kind of a "time out" for me... I can talk to my flowers and check the birdhouses, etc., etc.
