Hi,
Having floaters in eyes might be due to liquification of vitreous liquid behind eye ball.
Having this problem of pulsating lights might be due to this or something wrong with your retina or optic nerve.
Rule out diabetes as well.
Consult ophthalmologist and get examined.
Ophthalmoscopic examination will give more clear clue about your problem.
Ok and take care.
