What Causes Constant Pulsatile Tinnitus And Severe Neck Pain?

I have constant pulsatile tinnitus for about 9 months now in left ear. Seen doc. No infection. Had MRI and CT scans...normal. Now when I am walking or exercising the pulsating is getting stronger and today had quite severe pain in left side of neck. Took ages to ease. Any ideas?

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM,

As per your query you have problem constant pulsatile tinnitus and severe neck pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like temporomandibular problem , stress and anxiety , localize change in blood pressure , impacted tooth , hearing loss , cervical spondylosis and infection in ear . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order tests like CT scan , vitals , examination with otoscope and rule out TMJ or impacted tooth problems . Doctor may prescribe supplement like ginkgo biloba , anti inflammatory , antibiotics ( gentamicin ) or may refer you to dentist in case of TMJ or impacted tooth problem . For now apply dry warm compress to TMJ and ear , drink green tea thrice a day and try to make yourself relax . Mind relaxing exercises like meditation and yoga will be very helpful along with physical therapy of TMJ.

Hope your concern has been resolved .

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
