What Causes Small Whooshing Sound With Each Heartbeat In Left Ear?

I am already taking zurtec, sudafed and flonace nose spray and i do netty pot. These are 2 new symptoms. I am under a lot of stress with an abusive husband whose been acting up lately. Not sure of that is related.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of small whooshing sound with each heartbeat in left ear which is due to accumulation of fluid and ear wax in ear canal. It seems to be due to ar infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to put otogesic ear drops and do warm saline gargles. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin for 5-7 days. You should apply warm compresses on that side. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get otoscopic examination done and start treatment after proper prescription. Avoid touching and pricking it with sharp objects.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
