View allI'm really concerned about this ongoing soreness and scratchy feeling in my throat that I've had for the last four months. I've seen several ENT specialists, and each one seems to have a different take on it. One mentioned acid reflux but I don't actually feel any heartburn, while another pointed to post-nasal drip and after a CT scan said I have ethmoid sinusitis and inflammation in my throat. He mentioned surgery might be an option if medication doesn't help, which I'm really not eager for. Yet another doctor said it's just an infection, but that doesnt seem to explain everything, and I can't get rid of this nagging feeling. I went down a Google rabbit hole and read about persistent throat issues being linked to cancer. Could just a sore throat really mean something as serious as cancer?

Hey, I'm a med student and lately, I've been hearing this sound in my ear. I think it might be pulsatile tinnitus. It all started like 34 hours ago after I finished my bath. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
Pulsatile tinnitus can be caused by various factors such as increased blood flow in the blood vessels near the ear. In your case, since it started after taking a bath, it could be related to changes in blood flow or pressure. I recommend you to try using a white noise machine to help mask the sound. Additionally, you can take Ginkgo Biloba supplement, 120 mg twice daily, to potentially improve blood circulation and reduce the symptoms of tinnitus. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.
