Pulsatile tinnitus

[Fatiguegirl]

Hey,

I am a 20 year old girl who has been suffering from Pulsatile tinnitus for over 5 years on the left side of my head/ear. The tinnitus tends to get worse when laying down and at night time and tends to get more quite when my neck under my left ear is pressed.

I have had a MRI and CT scan done about 3 years ago, nothing was found.

I also am anaemic with iron deficiency. My anaemia is irregular which means the tinnitus is not a cause of anaemia.

Every GP and Doctor i have spoken to tells me that its their first time of hearing about my condition, i came here looking for help and maybe someone else suffering from the same condition.

Thanks for reading, hope to hear from all of you soon!

Hi I had this for a few months last year and had all the checks and nothing found. I did start taking B12 regularly as a friend said B12. Deficiency may cause this pulsatile tinnitus and I don’t know if it is coincidence but it completely cleared up. Maybe worth a try.
