I'm curious about something that's been happening lately. When I lie on my side in bed, I can hear my heartbeat in the ear that's against the pillow, but nowhere else in the room. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about it?

When you lie on one side of the bed, it is common to hear your heartbeat more prominently in the ear that is in contact with the pillow. This is known as pulsatile tinnitus. To help alleviate this symptom, you can try using earplugs or playing white noise in the background. If the issue persists or worsens, it is recommended to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.
