Hello to everyone! I am new to this group and look forward to sharing
ideas
with you. I have been suffering with heart palpitations for almost 2
years
now and have been learning to deal with them, but now my pulsating
tinnitus that occurs in both ears is so loud that I can hardly sleep at
night nor concentrate in the day because of the  drastic increase in
whooshing/whistling sounds. I did have and still do have what seems to be
a sinus infection for a few years now, and have used a sinus irrigator
last year for this problem. I am worried that I might have done something
to my ears from possibly using this irrigator the wrong way!! Perhaps I
held it the wrong direction towards my ears, or pressed the end of the
unit too far into my nose while irrigating? Could this possibly cause my
drastic increase in  tinnitus and pulsating tinnitus levels?? Or maybe
this increased tinnitus is fluctuating hormone levels since I am
perimenopausal? Please I need your help and comments! Thanks so much,
Dianne

I had whooshing sounds like that for a few months. It kept growing
louder.  Then I had a CBC blood screen panel done.  It showed my red
blood count, specifically hemaglobin levels,  was around 1/3 of normal,
a 6.1. I had developed severe anemia.  After getting 2.5 liters of
blood transfusion over a 24 hour period the whooshing immediately and
totally disappeared.  Anemia is what caused my whooshing.  Good luck
with the whooshing.
