What Causes Feeling Of Heart Thumping In Forehead?
My 5 year old son sometimes complains about his heart thumping in his forehead (or what I believe this to be from his description). He doesn't mention anything about pain, just 'sound' or 'noise' Otherwise he is a healthy, normal 5 year old. Your thoughts?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This looks like he has ENT problem. He is most likely having some arteriovenous fistula in ear or surrounding region which makes his abnormal pulsation feels like thumping heart. You should get his detailed ENT examination done, to look for av fistula. He may need test like Doppler or CT angiogram of vessel.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
