Is Redness And Heartbeat In Ears Related To White Coat Syndrome?
What does it mean when my ears red and has a heart beat? I have has this little bump in my ear for about a week. It went down because I have been cleaning it but now my ear is red and has a heart beat. I have white coat syndrome, does that have anything to do with this problem?

Hello and welcome to health care magic,
when you say that your ear is red and has a heart beat I am assuming that you have either a swelling which is pulsatile (which beats in tune with the heart) or you are hearing tinnitus which is pulsatile.
In either case you need to get your ears examined by an ENT surgeon as soon as possible. Your white coat syndrome can increase the symptoms of sensations in the ear but other than that it has no direct relation to your problem.
If you are unable to see an ENT you can at least take a snap shot of your problem and also get an audiometry test and get back to me or any ENT in the forum
Hope this helps
regards
