  I know u never do, but since it is positional, it could be something like POTS.....

Thanks Selma.  I have a list of before & after symptoms--the after ones being much shorter.  I hadn't thought that this was significant, but you never know.

  Hi...u can be having it for several reasons...I know it can result from High pressure, so Sexy it can be a result of the pressure building for u, and Iris  for u it may just be the nerves healing......

Viv, many times if u get a symptom like this when u lay down it can be an indication of either POTS or ICP...so do talk to ur Dr about it.

I had it in my ears & I still do post op.  Only when I lie down.  In the scheme of things, it just feels like a nuisance symptom, so I try to ignore it.  I'll ask my NS about it when I see him in a couple weeks.
I guess better a pulse than no pulse.
