Hello, Over the last several months,I have developed pulsatile tinnitus in my left ear.I should mention that I have had occasional stabbing pain in same ear.Several years ago,an abnormal group of blood vessels was found in the same area during a cat scan,but I was told it was nothing to worry about.Recently,I ve developed sharp pain in my neck that radiates down my neck,shoulder and left upper chest.This pain is all on left side and is intermittent.Ive gone to an ENT and was very disappointed with the Doctor.Im currently looking for another.Any suggestions or info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance..
Hi I did review your concern. What you are experiencing as a radiating pain down your neck and shoulders and chest is what can be called as Permitted sign, and it is seen when nerves get irritated. It can occur in multiple disorders and is not very specific. Along with tinnitus I would recommend you get an MRI of your brain and neck done to rule out any potentially harmful condition. Also consult another ENT doctor and get your ears checked by audiometry if there is any hearing loss that you may be developing. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns. Wish you healthy and happy life ahead.
