whooshing in ear is driving me crazy!

Hi Ladies,
I have had whooshing in my ear also known as pulsatile tittinus (not sure on spelling). I went to the doctor about 10 days ago. I read online that it is usually caused by a blood flow problem. My doctor listened to my arteries in my neck and said everything sounds good. My blood pressure has been good as well. I am on a low dose BP med. Anyway I have freaked myself out thinking i have an aneurism or some other awful brain problem! I have to put on white noise at night because if gets loud when I lay down some nights and other nights its completely gone. Has anyone at all experienced this?? If so did you find out the cause?? Im 55 and 2 years post meno. Thankyou in advance.

I've been hearing throbbing in my left ear for a couple of days. I only notice it when I'm trying to relax. A few whoosing noises then it's gone. I have it for a few days then horrible headache, dizziness and nausea come. It usually happens around my period. It's horrible and I can't get in to see my GP. I'm afraid to go to an urgent care cause of Covid. Those are covid symptoms.

Sorry it's kinda long, but perhaps it might be of help to you? Also try to have background noise going as you habituate to it; you can find lots of atmospheric sounds for relaxation on Youtube. Hang in there!
