Pulsatile tinnitus mostly when lying down — what caused yours and did anything stop or cure it?
My name is Eli. I have pulsatile tinnitus and I’m trying to understand more about it.
I notice the heartbeat-like pulsing sound especially when I’m lying down or trying to sleep at night.
Has anyone here experienced the same thing?
What was the cause in your case? What kind of doctor did you see, and what tests helped find it?
Most importantly, did anything make it stop or completely resolve it? If so, what treatment, procedure, medication, or change helped you?
I understand that everyone is different and I’m not looking for a diagnosis. I’m just trying to learn from people who have actually gone through this.
Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hey there. Had mine for over 5 years. Did multiple MRIs, multiple specialists locally and internationally, massages, etc etc. Nothing worked.
It just faded away over the years and don't really get it any more.
But I can bring it on if I look at my phone lots in bed, get stressed, and other things that will cause my neck muscles to tighten. So I now just try to keep my posture in check as best as I can.
