Constant headache & audible pulse

[almamatters]

Hi, I hope someone can shed some light on this or help in any way.  I've tried searching on the net for an answer but no luck.  I've suffered with headaches since being an adult really, so this is nothing new.  However, I'm currently experiencing constant headaches, that never lift and aren't eased by any sort of painkiller.  Accompanying this, which is more concerning, is a constant thump in my head which is my pulse, pulsating very loudly.  If I'm in a quiet room, say at night when trying to sleep it just pounds in my ears.  It's almost as if my whole body is moving with my pulse.  I also suffer from sinusitis, although i've had scans which don't show anything up, this is also a constant problem.

I've seen my dr about these problems over the years but he's never been able to help.  I'd like to know what these are the symptoms of and if there's anything that can be done to combat it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I was searching online about my headaches and the pulsing in my head. I came upon your question about your son. I am 22 so I was wondering what the outcome of your son's scans. I don't think I have Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (I checked it out after I saw that guy had left that in response to you). I don't vomit and I am only 120 Ibs so I don't think I have that. Anyways, I hope your son is doing better.

Hi there.Im just putting forward an idea.I have IIH/Pseudo Tumor Cerebri and have those symptoms. Why not look it up and see if you think you MIGHT have it. If so , go and talk to your dr. It is a rare illness and a lot of drs woulndt think of it first off. The best of luck with it all! Cath278.
