I am female, 51, 120 lbs. Have been treated for high blood pressure for approximately 15+ years and was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation 8 yrs ago, also mitral valve prolapse which is insignificant. Am taking 400 mg. cordarone, 10 mg. norvasc, 5 mg. zestril, and one aspirin daily. (Coumadin was eliminated last year when I hemmoraged on my period.) Also had a TIA 2 1/2 years ago. For the past year +, I hear and feel the pulse in my head. I hear the blood gushing, almost roaring. It is continuous regardless of whether I am active, inactive, standing, sitting, or lying down. Is there a name for such a condition? Any lituature? I thought if I waited it out, it would stop, but it is only getting worse. I am weary of it.
