Suggest Remedy For Tinnitus
Question: I am a 56 yr old female in good health. Recently within the past week , I have started to hear fluttering sounds in and near my right ear, that seems to come and go randomly. This has happened sometimes when I'm sitting or standing or walking. I need to know if this is something I need to get checked out immediately or if this is something that is going to go away.??
Brief Answer:
You need a checkup but not an emergency.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Health Care Magic.
Thanks for writing.
I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.
There can be multiple reasons to this ...if you have had flue congestion recently then it might well be because of that... it might be wax or any other reason.
I cant say it will go away by itslef. But In my opinion there doesnt seem to be any emergency for a checkup. In my opinion you can get a checkup with a GP at any convenient time soon and discuss this problem with him.
He can easily check and examin year in clinic with simple tools and most causes of such complains can be found out. If he feels something wrong enough then he can refer you to an ENT.
Till then you dont have to worry.
I hope this answered your question, a
if you have more please feel free to ask.
