Pulsatile Tinnitus
If you are experiencing tinnitus or noises in your head that pulse rhythmically in time with the beating of your heart you have what is known as pulsatile tinnitus.
This condition is very irritating and indeed the noises are actually your body’s way of warning you that something is wrong. Generally if you are experiencing pulsatile tinnitus it is likely that your blood cholesterol levels are too high.
This could result in a build-up of plaque in the tiny arteries that feed the delicate inner ear organs.

Subject: noisy heart beat
Dear John It is not the high pitch sounds or crickets in my ears that bothers me. It really is the constant sound of my heart beating and it gets so loud that even listening to my tape at night does not drown it out. It gets worse when I turn over in bed and races like mad. I really don’t know what else to do as I have tried just about everything. Can you help me any further?
Thank you regards Daphne
