Relax hun! I get it all the time. You need to see your GP (not really ASAP unless its really bothering you). Sounds like you need to get it drained before it gets too bad. My doc said the heart beat thing was the pressure the wax was having on the ear drum. Or something like that. Anyway having it drained cleared it up for a while. Might help if you dont stick your ears under water for a while as well.
Thanks Nelle and Waiting...I will ask my OB when I see her next Tuesday....will keep you girls posted...I think it might be due to a change in my blood pressure or just one of the symptoms in pregnancy....but the thumping sound is starting to annoy me
my ear used to get blocked all the time - where i could hear the echo in my head everytime i spoke and that is the most frustrating thing ever. hope you get yours sorted soon. sounds like the draining thing is a good idea
hi, ummm well I had the same thing but after I had my baby, in the hospital, turned out I had internal bleeding and was severely anemic, I ended up with a blood transfusion!
not that this is happening to you, im sure!! but have you had your iron levels checked recently?
OMG I have being getting this for years. I have being to dr's about it one telling me I needed an MRI. The MRI was all clear and now I hear it can be something as simple as wax build up? It is so anoying and I can't sleep for the thud and then the worry something isn't right. Off to get my ears cleaned asap see if that stops. Then the BP. It was also so much worse when pregnant. It makes sense that it would be worse in pregnancy with the extra blood you are carrying around and increased pressure.
I had this with DS and it was soooooo irritating. It went away eventually. Never had it with DD. I just wrote it off as one of those weird preggy things.
