What Causes Pulse Behind The Left Ear?
I ve been feeling a pulse behind my left ear and its not consistent. it will happen in the morning and sometimes during the day. prior to feeling the pulse behind ear, my upper eyelids of my left eye would twitch. ever since I ve been feeling the pulse behind my ear, the twitch in my left eye has gone away. my BP these days is around 135/90. I don t know what else it can be. if you can shed any light on my condition I would greatly appreciate it. regards, luis

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pulse behind the left ear which seems to be due either stress and anxiety, changes in local blood pressure and residual respiratory tract infection or due to nerve impingement. Need not to worry. You should take combination of antibiotic such as Levofloxacin along with antiinflammatory medication. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for otoscopic examination of ear and auditory testing as well and start treatment after proper examination. Put otogesic ear drops in ear. Apply warm compresses. You should go for mouth stretching exercises. Drink plenty of fluids.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
