Hi welcome to HCM.
Pulsatile sensations in the ear and heart could be secondary to some hyperdynamic circulatory process operating at the level of heart like an aortic regurgitation.This needs an e dimensional echocardiography to be ruled out.You should certainly visit your doctor.I also advice you to have a baseline EKG.Surgical repair of the aortic valve if any can offer permanent cure.Consult your cardiologist for further queries.
Thank you
