I tweet awareness of underlying causes of Pulsatile Tinnitus, a sound usually in sync with the pulse and unlike regular ringing tinnitus a cause can normally be identified if investigations take place. Read more info here facebook.com/PulsatileTinnit…
Pulsatile tinnitus felt like a death sentence. I was 30yrs old & had been painting my ceilings. I developed various symptoms yet every doctor dismissed my symptoms, even hospital. I paid for scans & sent them to various specialists across the world. #pulsatiletinnitus
not there. This is how far the nhs have taken it. I was labelled as having anxiety. This does not protect patients from harm or allow further learning so that it does not happen again. There is still a culture of cover up. I was high risk for stroke but this was of no concern
to them. I have learned to cope with my symptoms however they are debilitating at times. @heraldscotland @Daily_Record @MailOnline @ScotNational @DailyMirror

Want to understand venous causes of pulsatile tinnitus? watch/listen
Narrowing ➡️ turbulence ➡️ sound
Put that next to the temporal bone (inner 👂)
Add a pulse 💓 and you get:
#PulsatileTinnitus!
Sharing will help us help more people with treatment

🔑 14% of this population have a high-risk lesion!

Vertebral artery fistulas can present with Pulsatile Tinnitus ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
Pulsatile Tinnitus is a symptom of both vertebral artery dissection & carotid artery dissection. I've had arguments with Dr's who state the Vertebral is too far away away from the ear, it's not about distance if the blood flow is extremely turbulent ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/15…
