What is the cause and what can be done if you hear the persistent pulse or heart beat in one ear?

because your pulse is coming from the beating of the heart you heart is pumping blood through your arteries an thus creates a pulse

A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats a minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats a minute.

Don't stop except under the doctor's supervision.

It is usually a bad idea to stop any medicine suddenly. Ask the doc about a 1/2 dose or an alternative.

Check Owner's Manual. Most likely it means IRREGULAR HEART BEAT.

Your blood pressure rises with each heartbeat and falls when your heart relaxes between beats. While BP can change from minute to minute with changes in posture, exercise, stress or sleep, it should normally be less than 120/80 mm Hg (less than 120 systolic AND less than 80 diastolic) for an adult age 20 or over.

The normal pulse for healthy adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. The pulse rate may fluctuate and increase with exercise, illness, injury, and emotions. Females ages 12 and older, in general, tend to have faster heart rates than do males.

There are many reasons for a high pulse rate. Your pulse rate is the same as your heart rate. A common cause is anxiety. A heart rate over 100 is called sinus tachycardia . Sometimes bearing down as if you are having a BM will "reset" the heart. to normal sinus. It is related to vagal nerve stimulus. An obvious reason for increased heart rate would be physical exertion/exercise. Some medications may also cause an increase in heart rate. Sinus medications have been known to cause this. Too much caffeine will also increase the pulse.
There is also a condition called atrial fibrillation or A-fib. If your heart/pulse rate is not beating in a regular rhythm, it may be a-fib and must be evaluated. In any case, if your pulse rate is consistantly above 100/min you should see a cardiologist to determine the cause.

fakonobea, it means pulse / diastolic / systolic. Pulse is how many times your heart is beating per minute. Systolic is the pressure when your heart is contacting; it is the top number. Diastolic is the bottom number and it is the pressure when your heart is at rest. Normal pressure is 120 systolic and 80 diastolic, or 120/80.


If you have further questions, I suggest talking to your doctor or health care professional, they will be happy to tell you.

It shows your heart is till beating and the LCD readout should tell you, your heart rate. Some monitors will also indicate if the heart beat is regular or irregular.

1. 1 Use your right index and middle finger to check the pulse on the left arm of the subject.
   
2. Step 2 Press the radial artery that you are trying to feel firmly with your index finger. The idea is to partially occlude the artery which will increase the volume of the pulse just proximal to your index finger which is underlying the tip of your middle finger.
   
3. Step 3 Feel the pulsation with your middle finger by gently touching the skin while maintaining a firm pressure with your index finger.
   
4. Step 4 As soon as you feel the pulsations, look at the clock and start counting number of pulsations. Count for at least 15 seconds and multiply the number by 4. To be more accurate, count for the whole minute.
   
5. Step 5 Normal pulse is around 72 beats per minute at rest, however anything from 60 beats per minute to 100 beats per minute at rest is also considered normal.
   
6. Step 6 Besides the number you should also check the rhythm or regularity of the pulse. Irregular pulse is almost always abnormal and can be due to number of heart conditions, such as Atrial fibrillation or heart block. Pulse may be increased in fever. Athletes may have a pulse as low as the 40s, however, that is considered normal.
   
7. Step 7 Sometimes, despite all the correct techniques, you may still not be able to feel the radial pulse. In case someone has collapsed, the most appropriate area to look for the pulse is the carotid artery, just behind Adam's apple in the neck. Other arteries that may also be used are the bracheal artery (in front of the elbow) and the dorsalis pedis (proximal to the first web of the foot).
