What Causes Headaches With Fluttering In Ear?
When I bend over I feel like I m hearing a pulse/fluttering in my left ear. Followed by a horrible headache. Its starting to make me really nervous. It happend when I was putting my child in his booster seat and it made me worry. Could it happen when im driving? I felt like I was going to pass out. I seem to have headaches almost always on the left side of my head 5 out of the 7 days of the week. I m 24 years old. I dont want to live like this forever. I ve head horrible headaches since I was a child.
