Common Symptoms of Pulsatile Tinnitus

Headaches

Headaches typically accompany pulsatile tinnitus if there's intracranial hypertension. These headaches can range from mild to severe, and they may involve different types or locations of pain. Sudden and extreme pain is an indicator emergency medical attention is required. If patients don't get emergency medical treatment, they may have permanent damage to their brain and spinal cord. The complications from this damage and pressure can be fatal. If individuals have a headache due to intracranial pressure, they may also have neurological symptoms like behavioral changes, fatigue, muscle weakness, problems talking, vomiting, and blurry vision. Many of the symptoms are similar to those of a stroke.
