To your health!
For the past few months I have been hearing my heartbeat in my ear. It kind of sounds like a fluid heart beat. The best way to describe it is that it sounds like a woman hooked up to a fetal moniter. I had gone to my primary doctor and he told me that it was alergies and gave me some nasal sprays and an over the counter drug for that. It did not work so my Dr. sent me to an Ear Nose and Throat doctor. My appointment was today and the Dr. there told me that my ears are fine. He thinks the problem is that either my artery in my neck has a blockage, or... There is a tumor growing in my neck that has caused the artery to move to a location that is causing me to hear the heartbeat. Either of these conditions would explain why I am experiencing the extream fatigue. They are going to schedule an ultrasound to determine if they are correct. I dont know what to do. I'm 25 years old. If I have a blockage in my artery because I'm over weight then I am going to be very disapointed in myself.
Todays Tip: Just because you do not feel bad now does not mean there is not a problem. People are living their lives over weight with diabeties and not even knowing it. Dr. Oz says that if you take your height in inches and devide it by half, that is how many inches your waist line should be to have good health.
