Sound of Heartbeat in Right Ear
by George-R, Jan 18, 1999 12:00AM
I regularly hear the sound of my heartbeat in my right ear -- usually associated with the least physical effort. Back in November, I had angioplasty with stents in the LAD. But the sound of the heartbeat was even before that. What could this mean? Should I be worried? I never mentioned this to my cardio, who I will see again in a week.
