Doctors and Nurses Please Advise?Im Scared And Don't Know What To Do? Please Help?

Im in my early 50's.I have been checked out throughly but a gp and also and ent vascular specialist.and have a friend that is a veteran nurse head nurse for 30 years at a local hospital.All say that im in excellent shape,Pressure is good ,strong heart,clear lungs, nothing that would indicate the presence of a blockage at all.However the reason I orginally went to them is that I hear clearly what seems to be my heartbeat in my ears..Like my heart is in my head in reality .The ent vascular doctor said that its benign symptom.There was no reason for concern.I lost about 40 pounds in about 5 months.My wife did too.We stopped eating out.Anyway the doctor says(Both) by the way that its loss of padding causing hearing of the heartbeat.I have recently started reading about carotid artery disease.I do have random symptoms of this but not steady ,but have been told that anxiety causes the same.I will list the symptoms below and please read the rest before answering..Thanks

I have every once in awhile blurriness in one eye or the other,I get a feeling of stiffness in my right arm when outside if I get cold just a weird feeling..I get dizziness sometimes very little mostly when I had the flu and sometimes my arms or legs feel weird but nothing really concrete. I have had numbness in my right arm but when using the computer mouse and propped up for hours on my back.I also get kind of weak in the afternoons but attribute most of all of this to anxiety.The doctors also said that I had post traumatic stress and it could produce the sound in my head.For the most part I feel ok,but there are times when something just doesn't feel right.I have noticed a slight increase in resting pulse from 72 to 80 most of the time and then at night 72 to 76 but most of the time 80..It just been recently I started having this increase then again I have read this is normal too.I get many strange feelings in my body sensations of like muscle spasms in the chest area and legs..

I think hearing your heartbeat in your ears could be a symptom of a heart palpitation, though, I'm not expert at this. The pain in your joints when it's cold could just be a sign of a joint disorder e.g osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis etc. I'm no doctor, so you best ask your doctor or get a second opinion.

You resting heart rate is all right, there's is nothing wrong with it fluctuating in the ranges you gave(72 to 80). I think you are being a tad bit obessive about your health. You don't want to develop an anxiety disorder, now do you? Just relax and enjoy life while maintaining your healthier lifestyle. You seen all right, physically/physiologically.

It is possible that you have a blockage in an artery in the brain near the acoustic nerve(the nerve that carries sound messages to the brain from the ear) You could be hearing what we call a bruit or murmur and definitely needs to be evaluated.

You could be at risk for a stroke, which blood thinning medications could help in preventing.

Time to see a neurologist.
