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.

View allI am suffering from allergy sinusitis from 5yrs but I have done allergy test but no allergy but nasal spray is not effective but some doctors telling do surgery but some doctors telling not required congestion is more night and early morning
It's understandable that you're seeking clarity on your chronic sinusitis, especially with conflicting opinions about surgery. Since your allergy tests are negative, the cause might be non-allergic rhinitis or other factors affecting your sinus drainage. If nasal sprays are not effective, and your symptoms persist, further evaluation and possible surgical intervention could be considered.
