Is Stopping And Beating Sound In Ears With Irregular Pulse Serious?
My husband has partial RBBB worked up and then followed by our PCP with annual ECGs.
Today he mentioned that he hears a sound in his ears (about every 2nd or 3rd beat of the pulse) like something is stopping the hearing and wondered what the cause might be. His pulse was regularly irregular - 2 beats and then a skip. It lasted about half an hour. Should we be concerned?

Hi,
Most probably it is premature heart contractions, if it is the first time or it is happening rare, nothing to worry. If he noticed that they become frequent, I would advise to have 24 hour ECG monitoring.
Take care
