Whistling In Ears, Soreness In Chest. Symptoms Related?
my husband is experiencing what he calls whistling in his ears. he awoke with this Monday morning. And, it lasted all day, driving him nuts . At work on Tuesday, he said it started to diminish ... is still there but not as loud . And, last evening he complained that his entire chest was sore. HOWEVER, he did lift weights FOR HIS chest on Monday. He is 54 and in excellent shape. He made an appointment to see doctor. they will get him in March 13.

hello and welcome to HCM,
There are many causes of tinnitus or the whistling in the ear and many of the cause may cause both chest soreness and tinnitus!
Many times tinnitus can also occur after exercise but this usually disappears soon
if the whistling persists then you need to undergo a complete evaluation of the known causes of tinnitus especially the vascular causes.
hope he recovers soon
