I have this sometimes too. Especially when I lay down.

I actually googled this and found that it was called Pulsatile Tinnitus. I am just so tired all the time. I was never like this after my sleeve!

I'd let your doctors know.. after looking at medical journals this doesn't seem to be much an indicator of anything by itself (other than the annoyance you described), but it can be found in diagnoses regarding the cariovascular system. If you're already being well maintained and are having regular checkups I'd probably not think much of it, but still let them know for it to be on record in case something does come up, or in case they find out something new.

I have the same thing, but strangely enough, it's gotten better since I had surgery. I spoke with a Dr about it and she referred me to an ENT who specializes in inner ear disorders (I still have not gone). I did notice if I have a few days of high-sodium meals it would get worse. I also have vertigo in my R ear.

I once had vertigo.. some of the most miserable weeks in my life. Was the result of a severe inner ear infection. Stand up, walk worse than being drunk.. lie down, room spins and makes me feel sick. Close my eyes, it spins faster. Terrible. I was given some kind of Clavamox or Amoxicillin combo drug that absolutely ran roughshod over my digestive tract as a result.. set off a 1-3 month episode of psoriasis in bad places that I never had before.

Even after it was gone, I had issues riding elevators for months afterwards, would make me feel nauseated. Couldn't even think about theme park rides.. so glad that didn't last too long.

Actially it has stopped since yesterday when I started full liquids! I think I just needed a couple days of protein!

Funny, I had that with all 3 of my pregnancies, no other time ever.
