It is so funny that you bring this topic up. I have been having a real problem with hearing my heart beat rather loudly in my right ear. I went to an ENT specialist today and she said my ear drums look fine, I do have a deviated septum but I always had that and my throat is sore an a little swollen but that has just been over the last three days. She prescribed me some prednizone to see if that helps. Oh, they took my blood pressure and that was great, always is, and I have to let her know in three weeks at the next appointment how I feel. The next step is a cat scan.

So I don't really have an answer.

But I have a question. I did look it up and it did say that it could mean a thyroid issue. Can that be found out through a blood test? How does one know if there is a thyroid issue going on?
