Does anyone out there feel this??? A pounding caput, its as if I can feel the pulse in my head at all times. It is especially bad when I lay my caput down (at night on my pillow for example). I have an appt next week to meet a neurologist and they volition probably ready me up for a MRI. This has been going on for nigh a year now and just suddenly seems to exist getting worse. My head does not hurt, so information technology's non similar a true headache, more of a discomfort, and information technology's difficult to fall asleep. It (the pounding) seems to go upward the dorsum of my cervix, over the acme of my ears to my temples on both sides. Whatever suggestions? |

I have the same symtom but they constitute my problem. I accept a blocked right corodid artery. The claret is rushing through iii other arteries in my caput instead of the four main ones. I sleep with a fan on at night to keep some noise in the room. I think it helps. Some nights information technology takes hours to autumn asleep, I hate information technology! They found the trouble doing a exam called a WADA exam for epilepsy surgery where they put a cathader in an artery in your leg and put it upward to your brain to deliver a drug to disable that office of your brain. I don't recollect you'll have the same test simply I'm sure they can hear it if the doctor listens to the blood period in your neck. If it sounds aberrant they tin can do an ultrasound to detect blood catamenia. I promise this tin can help someone with this problem.

Hello,
This is so weird every bit information technology was one of my first symptoms, At present i am not trying to scare anyone here only i was told the pounding was a heart problem. I went wrongley dx for years. Over the years that was my but symptom but and so i fell on a slide very difficult and everything stated going down hill. that was 8 months ago and i was simply dx with ACM also Arnold Chiari Malformation. In the reaserch i accept done and what my neuro surgeon told me that is one of the top v symptoms, i explicate it equally hearing my centre shell in my head and it but happens when i lay down and no it does not injure just annoying. If yous look up chiari you will understand why it only happens when you lay down because yous are causing more compression. Please anyone who has had a MRI and information technology "DID NOT SHOW ANYTHING" Please take it rechecked and then maybe you will non accept to go though years of existence treated for the wrong affair. Hope this helps if you accept any more questions let me know. |

CIndy,
I know EXACTLY what you are experiencing. I had the aforementioned symptoms after my concussion. Although the pulse in my head was on 24/7!!!!!!!!!
What was frustrating is that nobody knew what I was talking about and they all told me information technology was in my caput. It was a pulse that made information technology hard for me to slumber, and I used to put my friends' hands on my head then that they could experience what I was talking nigh, but according to them , they felt nothing. I read later that these were migraines, and that mine was a basal arterial??? migrane.
The neurologist told me it would become abroad past itself. I didn't beleive him, merely he was right. I would have to tell you that symptom went away after 2 months later on the incident, simply to be replaced past an annoying numbness of the brain that I have been feeling for about a calendar month. I really don't know what to say.I hope you experience much better. Information technology is skillful that your doctor is taking your intendance seriously.

I even put a stethescope on my head in hopes that my hubby could hear information technology and he can't. I had an MRI and CT scan and nothing was wrong. Is anyone experiencing whatsoever numbness with this symptom? I'm 29 and have been having this pulse in my head since I am nearly 12 years erstwhile. Nearly 2 months agone my right hand and one little spot on my back is getting numb-comes and goes a few times a day. Delight let me know if you are experiencing this with your head problems. Cheers!

My mother has been suffering with head/ear hurting and dizziness. She also has pounding in her head and headaches. She was recently told she has a pinched nerve which may be causing all of it. Deep tissue massage seems to alleviate some of it. |

Hmm. I've had pounding in my head earlier. It'due south similar you tin can hear your heartbeat...well, more like *feel* it...in your caput. It mostly happens when I go my heart charge per unit upwardly or am lieing in the bed trying to sleep. I don't *think* there is anything incorrect with me, and I'm too young for heart issues. Possibly it'southward normal to have information technology from fourth dimension to fourth dimension? |

Hello All, I too suffer from the pounding racket in my head. I take had this for about one year now and some days, particularly at nighttime when I become to bed and lay my head downwards the "racket" level in my caput is unbearable. I too take tried to run into if others tin "hear" information technology using stethoscope (my sister's a nurse), they can't. Most of my family thinks it'south "all in my caput", which of form information technology is, just they have no idea how distracting this can be. Though information technology's not really painful, in that it never hurts, it'due south loud. Night time is the worst when I am set up to go to bed and I lay my head down, the pulse is then loud. Virtually people (Doctors) aren't familiar with this status, though I was thankful when I saw my Doctor three months agone and he too suffered from this same condition. I forgot what he called information technology, I volition find out and add together it later. The good news (according to him) is that it isn�t �life threatening�, the bad news (always followed past the proficient news) is that you just take to �live with it�. He did prescribe a medication called: Butalbital/APAP/Caffeine, generic for Fioricet. Butalbital/APAP/Caffeine is a non-aspirin pain medication (acetaminophen) and caffeine. This not-narcotic pain medication and relaxant is ofttimes prescribed for tension headaches caused by contractions of the muscles in the neck and shoulder area, and migraine. (Web definition). I establish that drinking a loving cup of coffee will often lessen or temporarily eliminate the symptoms. The fact that the medication has Caffeine as main ingredient led me to retrieve this might work, and it seemed to. I was worried that taking the medication prior to bed would disrupt my sleep (again the caffeine) so I keep the med bottle in my nightstand and take it merely when the noise level is actually bad. When I�ve had to accept it at night, I am often so exhausted, from lack of sleep that I have fallen asleep and the caffeine hasn�t been a problem. Taking the med in the daytime has never been a problem, merely If you�ve ever had eye problems, I�d be concerned again it feels a bit similar a big jolt of caffeine in your organization, which can be an effect for the heart. My throbbing is primarily in my neck, on the left side, oftentimes times I accept applied a slight pressure level against the left carotid artery to briefly stop the pounding, so I can part/slumber, which works, but my husband says that can�t be a adept thing and worries that I may be doing some �other impairment� by reducing the amount of blood that flows. As soon equally I become the official proper name for this condition I will mail service information technology, then if anyone is reading this check back within the side by side week or two to see if it�s been posted. Skilful-Luck to anyone suffering from this. Promise this info helps. Kellykid |

I too am having many of these same symptoms and although I've had seemingly every medical exam under the sun (including MRIs of the head, neck, breast, and heart), the physicians who have reviewed my case are unable to identify the cause. The constant pulsation, felt from my chest through my neck and into my caput until almost the earlobes, is maddening and debiltating -- I haven't had a good nighttime's sleep since September. I am an otherwise healthy and fit 25 year old male. The primary difference between my case and what I'g reading from some of yous is that the onset of the 'pulsatile pressure level' was gradual and is now constant; at that place is no numbness or pain; nor or there other symptoms consequent with ACM. So I believe that my problem may be identical to some of you lot, but only bears a single common thread with others. I am taking 50mg of atenolol daily. This has lessened the symptoms somewhat, but not to whatsoever meaningful caste. Please keep posting with your progress -- teamwork to recovery! |
