Are Visible Pulsating In The Neck And Hands Is Because Of Ear Infection Or A Pinched Nerve?

I have been diagnosed with labyrinthitis for almost 8 weeks now and the symptoms are getting weaker. However, I have a visible pulsation in my neck and my hands (seems like their are heartbeats in each finger). Is this because an ear infection can pinch a nerve?

Relax dear,

The visible pulsations in the neck and finger is not at all related to the ear condition. These pulsations are normal and usually not seen as the body fat and tissue water content overshadow it

Being in rest for 8 weeks for labyrinthitis may have reduced your weight and these has led to appearance of pulsation.

Hence please do not worry about the pulsation and enjoy life as it is. Have nutritious food and plenty of water.

Hope i could solve your concern.

Thanks for the way you are in my life.
