Sometimes I had to keep my hand there for a couple of seconds and sometimes I would have to keep it there for hours but it would always make me cry tears of happiness to just hear my heart beating.
Lord I used to do the same thing. I had panic attacks, but they were also bolstered by paranoia and fear that something was wrong with my body. I would press down on my chest to feel if my heartbeat was normal, as if I could somehow feel a heart attack or a seizure or whatever else. No matter what I felt there I was never satisfied XD I can laugh about it now because it was YEARS ago, and I thankfully grew out of it, but I do wonder what caused those attacks. They're nonexistent now as a 22 year old :/

Thats the problem with America. They actively recruit kids to join the military and send them to combat because of oil and when they returned all broken and wounded, they were forgotten. In Japan, military veterans are honoured and respected. Every single soldier, no matter the rank or vocation, will receive a lifetime of pension, free housing, free education for their children and for themselves and free lifetime healthcare in any hospitals or clinics in the country.

For folks who don’t know, if you have this problem especially at night or very quiet times, you could have a thinning or hole in the bone in your inner ear called superior canal dehiscence syndrome… it’s thinning or hole forming causes sound to not go thru the ear, but thru the hole, getting to your brain receptors in another form. Basically you can hear things twice, a ‘reverberation’ or echo of your own voice, hearing your pulse and possibly the sound of your eyes moving. It’s rare, I had it.
I had a patient with the hole. He said it took decades for them to find it. He was put in institutions and medicated but nothing helped. After finding it they told him the only thing to fix it was surgery and it was high risk and not recommended.
I remember that one from Grey's Anatomy. I'm glad someone was able to diagnose you instead of just say that it was all in your head. They like to do that. My mother had an acoustic neuroma. I wish somebody had told one of us that those things can recur. We didn't know...
So... This isn't a normal thing to have? How loud does it have to be to indicate something like that? I can only hear it faintly, and it doesn't really bother me, so is it still indicative of something like that?
2:33 -- I'm half expecting the doctor to look in the ear to check for damage, then get a surprised look on this face: "Hey! This guy's heart really IS in his head! I can see it in here!"
My sister has been going through this for months on end ,after lots of testing the ENT decided that she needs surgery but it's life threatening and for her age he is not willing to risk it,she was given a hearing aid to help her
I had a similar problem. I’ve had tinnitus for 22 years; since I was 10/11. My tinnitus had gotten so bad that I couldn’t sleep for more than an hour because of the constant deafening ringing. I couldn’t hear myself think. It’s a very scary feeling to be so tortured by horrific sound that you can’t sleep, can’t function, can’t anything. You become an immobilized jailed passenger in your own body. I went to the ENT who sent me to the audiologist who gave me hearing aids. I don’t need hearing aids for loss/lack of hearing, I have normal hearing, but my hearing aids play constant noise (Brownian “Brown” Noise) that helps retrain my brain to not hear the ringing. I’ve had my hearing aids for almost 1.5 years now and things are much better. These hearing aids are such a blessing and necessity for my life and I’m taking these hearing aids with me to my grave. In case anyone may be wondering about any other health history correlation for themselves. I’m autistic, have ADD, an anxiety disorder (which is helped by my hearing aids), and sensory issues/SPD (also helped by hearing aids).
We thought he was being unreasonable as 2 other ENT specialists and a neurosurgeon wanted to perform the dangerous surgery for whatever reason but after much debate they all decided she was ultimately too young and the risk too high, now we wait and see whether this hearing aid helps or not
I'm sorry to ask but what exactly has she been going through? In the case of the video, the heartbeat sound was PTSD. I'm just a little confused and not trying to be mean.
I have super ventricular tachycardia, so many doctors appointments they didn’t catch it until it I had a tachycardic episode in dead sleep. Granted you can’t actually SEE or predict tachycardia and I wasn’t good at explaining my symptoms. I was pretty sure I knew what it was after hearing Miley Cyrus of all people talk about her tachycardia in one of those teeny bopper magazines( I was a lil old for them but I still read them at the time) But when the doc diagnosed me and got me on meds it was such a relief it’s like “no I’m not med shopping, I’m actually suffering”
They actually have to watch you have the seizure to know what is going on. They will even induce a seizure with rapidly blinking lights in patients with suspected epilepsy lol. Everyone is such a professional victim in these medical comments 🙄
@matthew92604 I agree. So many of these commenters just have a score to settle since doctors weren’t able to diagnose them. Doctors are human, they make mistakes too… shouldn’t hold it against them.
I was saying this in the beginning, to do a chest and head scan. They finally decided to do it. Lesson learned: Actually LISTEN TO THE PATIENT AND DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO FIND THE ISSUE!
I once had a panic attack and for three days straight, I could hear my heart beat. Just a constant awareness that would never go away. I couldn’t sleep. It was a psychological thing and not physical but man I understood what this guy was going through. It’s just so discomforting, so never ending.
Until you said this I'd blocked this out of my memory because it happened to me as well. I could feel every heartbeat for days on end, the feeling of the muscles in my wrists tension increasing and decreasing, creepiest thing ever
I started having panicked attacks 3 years ago and they lasted for like a month,the fear the anxiety,depression, ear ringing made me very aware of my surroundings and myself it was a very bizarre constant feeling 24/7. It was a nightmare for the very 1st year and 2nd year I started living more with that fear knowing it's just an anxiety fight or flight mode that makes me so aware of everything but still scared of it and my brain not wanting to accept that was anxiety. By the third year bad anxiety is gone but irrational thought still there and the awareness but don't fear it as much as before since I know it's just there to save me that's why I'm so aware of everything cause my subconscious remembers those years of panic attacks and anxiety so it's always on the lookout for trouble I need to rewire my brain more and more and learn to relax more And more. Slowly but surely. But the brain is powerful. I am sure people like the patient realized that hearing his heartbeat is not gonna hurt him but is actually saving him, keeping him alive the Brian realized there was nothing to fear just like me hearing the tinnitus at night, I was a complete mess fearing that sound and not wanting to be alone hearing it at night so I would always had something muffing the sound but nothing worked since I was fearing it. Until I realized it just another sound and I started hearing this sound because I developed it after panic attacks it was just my brain trying to protect me amplifying sound to hear everything better, then I started getting used to more and more.❤
I can hear my heart beat in my head. It's nowhere near as drastic as this though. I do have medical issues that complicate life but I take it as a welcome sign that my heart is still pumping. It's annoying, downright painful when my blood pressure elevates, but I also have PTSD so it's really encouraging to see people with PTSD being listened to. Albeit very late sometimes, It's still nice to know you're being listened to.
i get the same emotional resonance from you as the man in this episode. i am so very happy people are listening to you now. get better and have a good day. ⛅️🌷🌱
I feel for him. Sometimes, because of certain health issues, I can hear my heart beating and it is the worst thing when you are trying to sleep. Just the constant noise in your ear, it’s like torture
I have a malformation on the left side of my brain, I know exactly what he means with the heartbeat thumping in your head. The actor playing the patient played this very well as you can probably imagine it does get very annoying hearing your heartbeat every day of your life for real sufferers
I had my first anxiety attack about 8 months after my deployment...I had no idea what was wrong but I was losing it, and feeling claustrophobic and a severe fear of being out in the open, it was terrifying. Many years later and I've had to increase my meds then switch them, my triggers started getting worse and I was re-diagnosed (kinda, it's hard to explain) with C-PTSD and I'm going through intense counseling as a vet AND as a female Army Combat Veteran. It's a nightmare, a prison without physical walls, but MY VA has definitely been a source of outstanding care when I needed it the most...It broke my soul when I found out that my experience was not the norm. I've had run ins especially when I was homeless with a disabled son, whom I gave birth to while in the Army, the social worker was an absolute asshole and they had to get her away from me. I appreciate the overall care for Veterans, but as a woman, myyyyy GOD it's been HARD....NO REGRETS, I just bless God that I still have a passion for being a mother, comedian and prayerfully soon, an author, I may have lost everything else about me, but I'm so very grateful for what remains🫶🏾
I have a condition called Atrial Fibrillation as a result of post childbirth sepsis. Due to the meds I take, it makes the heart beat harder but slower. I can feel and hear my heartbeat in a very similar fashion. I sympathize with this poor guy. Out returned servicemen need to be treated like the heroes that they are. Sacrificing good health and the love of family and community to enlist to fight for our freedom, only to come home injured and permanently mentally scarred, only for the government they served to pretty much turn it's back on them until they go off the edge.
I had to have an epi-pen injection once because of an antibiotic (had my father not been allergic to bees-and immediately recognized what it was-I had not been at their house I probably would not be alive). There for a few minutes, and the subsequent panic attack the whole thing it induced, I swear I could feel -and hear-my heart pounding in my ears for a few minutes. It was the most…unsettling and upsetting physical experience I’ve ever had. I’ve had several surgeries-one major one- and would rather wake up with a tube down my throat in pain than experience that again. I can absolutely imagine that having this happen all the time would drive a person quite literally insane. That being said, had someone given me the whole “your heart is their for you speech”…I might have thought about ripping theirs out for a moment.
I hear my heartbeat in my ear too. For me it’s Pulsatile Tinnitus, it comes and goes. Im glad it’s not constant. Sometimes it’s annoying, other times it’s actually kinda soothing.
I can so relate to this guy. About 2 years ago I developed severe pulsatile tinnitus. I will never forget waking up at 2am on a Monday to my heartbeat loudly pounding in my head. Good news was MRI ruled out an aneurysm, bad news was it was constantly pounding and looked like something I'd have to just live with. I had trouble sleeping, working.... Like the patient there were days it was driving me crazy. Then there were a couple times it just literally stopped - went silent for a few seconds. The first time that happened I was like oh crap did my heart stop? Am I dying? About 8 months later the intensity greatly diminished. Eventually the condition went away - thank goodness. Don't know why it started, or why it stopped. I will say though that even though I was learning to live with it, I could still feel it chipping away at my sanity.
I actually cried with this one. This medical show is not that scary which is good. House is like that. I'm sure it appeals to a lot of viewers but not me. This show is softer and makes me actually feel sympathy. Not just fear.
I have an anxiety disorder and when I get really anxious I can hear and feel my heartbeat in my head. He said this started for him 6 months ago. I'd be acting the same way. It's a very unnerving sensation
I developed tinnitus on my left side a couple months ago. I don’t know if it’s permanent, and I have been managing, but it gets bad some days. Imagining having it as loud as this guys’ and connected to my heartbeat is chilling.
I dont like it when patients get upset in the waiting room. Like yeah, you've been waiting for a long time, but so have all the patients waiting before you.
Brilliant actors. Damn, they carried this episode. The vet-to-vet interaction is so good. 4:47 is my favourite, so much pain, so much understanding. All those small details… mwah.
Not really. I'm a bit jaded to gore and medical injuries. I've had to clean my grandfather's open chest from liver transplant. The doctors couldn't close it all the way because of inflammation. We had to take him home that way and wait two weeks before the swelling went down and he could be closed up completely.
"I can hear my heart beat in my head" "we don't beleive you, you're insane" sees gelo "we were wrong" "Haaa told you, fix me" "we can't, think positif when you hear it...." that is the stupidest thing that could have come out of this....
Im personally the type to calm down with some repetitive sounds in the background, like a clock ticking and heartbeats. Ever since I was a kid, I always calmed down while listening to my parents' heartbeats, even my older brother's. So, whenever i start hearing my own, i actually feel relaxed and calm.
I got a skull fracture over a year ago. Also fractured a small bone in my ear in the impact. There is now a little piece of titanium in my head to replace that small bone. At some point in the whole process, I remember that I could hear my heart beating for a short time. That pulse is gone now, but has been replaced with tinnitus (ringing) due to the hearing loss I sustained from the whole thing, and was never completely fixed by the operation. It is only in one ear, but it is a near-constant ringing nonetheless. it’s probably actually constant, but my ADHD lets me ignore it half the time. I have read that the ringing from tinnitus has driven some people to madness and/or suicide. Extremely unlikely to happen with me, but I would imagine that the man in this video’s PTSD probably had an additionally detrimental effect on his mental health.
Sounds like pulsatile tinnitus, tinnitus is absolutely awful. I've had it since 11/21/21 and I was getting to a point like him. People don't realize how panicky hearing something NONSTOP is. Mines a high frequency constant pitch. I get pulsatile tinnitus of hearing my heart beating in my ears when I go shooting and wear putty earplugs and I bend down to pick up bullets, I couldn't deal with it 24/7. My heart goes out to everyone with tinnirus
Man, I know how that feels. There are times in the night I couldn't sleep when my room is completely silent, and all I can hear is my heartbeat... But damn, this actor is good, the way he played desparateness, I was so convinced that he could hear his heartbeat
It takes a vet, to heal a vet. I'm glad within Season 1, we get to figure out that Choi was a marine. If I missed it correct me, but I'd like to see choi and halstead work together. I know we won't get to see that now, but it would've been cool to see.
DAMN this was powerful... daaaamn. Not just medical, not just physical, they not only tell him the truth that they can't do anything physically, they find a way to do something for him emotionally. Hits HARD.
Vets deserve more treatment than they are given so many of them end up homeless and on the streets and this man stuck with his Belief that he was in pain and he refused to give up and that takes a great deal of strenght
I'd seen this clip already a while ago, but recently I've gone through some acute anxiety and began associating the sensations and sounds of my heart in a nagative way, the constant palpitations and feeling like it wasn't beating properly really freaked me out and it wasn't until I was given Propranolol AND went through some tough mental adjustments to that I learned to subdue some of that medical paranoia, try and remind myself that my heart is beating normally, that its working hard to keep me alive ❤
What frustrates me is that it's a representation of how people (front staff) don't listen until the customer/client/patient gets unruly and ridiculous in their language or request
It's true - the fact that he was right and they almost didnt do anything for him and furthermore saw him as crazy when he had a rational response to an issue any one of us could have...
I needed to see this today. I'm not a vet but I do have some similar scar tissue from past surgeries and procedures...this echo thing is not nearly as bad as this guy's but it was TERRIFYING when it started. In one way it's kind of like waterboarding torture, the unendingness of it all...in another way there's a constant fear that suddenly it's going to just...stop. Keeping my weight way, way down has been helpful in reducing the pressure sensation and therefore the sound, but I always have to have some other kind of sound happening, particularly when I'm trying to sleep, to drown it out. A loud fan and some white noise or some calming music along with the fan. It's manageable now but that silence with only your heartbeat to keep you company is one of the most scary things. No escape from it!
this is actually a phobia and i suffered with this for a LONG time, i had severe melt down because of it. safe to say its been years since its happened
I have been always searching up why I hear my heartbeat in my head ,have seen an ENT doctor and a cardiologist but never got my answer,(I don't hear all time ),never thought it in a beautiful way ,the doc's word are comforting
I deal with my heart beat in my ear, by back ground noises, chewing gum. I also at night try to put words to the melody, lol. I fall a sleep faster. It’s been with me so long that I have noticed it’s loudest when over tired. So rest keeps it in check. Anyway that is my take on the noise I hear 24/7 minus when I finally sleep. My fault I’m a night owl! Be safe, Be well.
I have very bad anxiety I can feel my eyes rattling like a tail of a rattle snake and I can also hear my heart beating through my head and it beats so fast and so loud it’s like a drum set and I’ve been diagnosed with it for the past 5 years

I remember that one from Grey's Anatomy. I'm glad someone was able to diagnose you instead of just say that it was all in your head. They like to do that.
My mother had an acoustic neuroma. I wish somebody had told one of us that those things can recur. We didn't know...
So... This isn't a normal thing to have? How loud does it have to be to indicate something like that? I can only hear it faintly, and it doesn't really bother me, so is it still indicative of something like that?
Or a migraine with your blood vessels
IT’S NOT NORMAL TO HEAR ALL THAT?!?!?!
That was such a great way to think of his heart that way. That poor man, I can’t imagine the things he’s been through and at probably such a young age
I teared up when he showed him his heart and said how much it was fighting to keep him alive. Damn
2:33 -- I'm half expecting the doctor to look in the ear to check for damage, then get a surprised look on this face: "Hey! This guy's heart really IS in his head! I can see it in here!"
All we need now is a laugh track
My sister has been going through this for months on end ,after lots of testing the ENT decided that she needs surgery but it's life threatening and for her age he is not willing to risk it,she was given a hearing aid to help her
I had a similar problem. I’ve had tinnitus for 22 years; since I was 10/11. My tinnitus had gotten so bad that I couldn’t sleep for more than an hour because of the constant deafening ringing. I couldn’t hear myself think. It’s a very scary feeling to be so tortured by horrific sound that you can’t sleep, can’t function, can’t anything. You become an immobilized jailed passenger in your own body. I went to the ENT who sent me to the audiologist who gave me hearing aids. I don’t need hearing aids for loss/lack of hearing, I have normal hearing, but my hearing aids play constant noise (Brownian “Brown” Noise) that helps retrain my brain to not hear the ringing. I’ve had my hearing aids for almost 1.5 years now and things are much better. These hearing aids are such a blessing and necessity for my life and I’m taking these hearing aids with me to my grave.
In case anyone may be wondering about any other health history correlation for themselves. I’m autistic, have ADD, an anxiety disorder (which is helped by my hearing aids), and sensory issues/SPD (also helped by hearing aids).
so they won't help because it will lower their stats ? that's just great....
We thought he was being unreasonable as 2 other ENT specialists and a neurosurgeon wanted to perform the dangerous surgery for whatever reason but after much debate they all decided she was ultimately too young and the risk too high, now we wait and see whether this hearing aid helps or not
@@kevinwg02 less about their stats and more about not killing the patient...
I'm sorry to ask but what exactly has she been going through? In the case of the video, the heartbeat sound was PTSD. I'm just a little confused and not trying to be mean.
His acting made me hold my breathe. That was overwhelming.
A physician watched me have a seizure... After 2 hours of me telling him it would happen. My mom caught it occurring. I have sickle cell disease.
I have super ventricular tachycardia, so many doctors appointments they didn’t catch it until it I had a tachycardic episode in dead sleep. Granted you can’t actually SEE or predict tachycardia and I wasn’t good at explaining my symptoms. I was pretty sure I knew what it was after hearing Miley Cyrus of all people talk about her tachycardia in one of those teeny bopper magazines( I was a lil old for them but I still read them at the time)
But when the doc diagnosed me and got me on meds it was such a relief it’s like “no I’m not med shopping, I’m actually suffering”
They actually have to watch you have the seizure to know what is going on. They will even induce a seizure with rapidly blinking lights in patients with suspected epilepsy lol. Everyone is such a professional victim in these medical comments 🙄
@matthew92604 I agree. So many of these commenters just have a score to settle since doctors weren’t able to diagnose them. Doctors are human, they make mistakes too… shouldn’t hold it against them.
the heart goin "im here, im here, im workin brother"
I was saying this in the beginning, to do a chest and head scan. They finally decided to do it. Lesson learned: Actually LISTEN TO THE PATIENT AND DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO FIND THE ISSUE!
He is such a phenomenal actor!!
I've had moments when I could feel my heartbeat in my head. Since elementary school. Really pumping away.
As someone with sensory issues... I can’t even imagine
Literally what I was thinking, I almost teared up cause I could just feel his frustration.
Your sensory issues are caused by tiktok
@@midnight_x_edits nah it’s cause I’m autistic. Diagnosed and everything.
@@midnight_x_edits Sensory issues have existed since long before TikTok.
I once had a panic attack and for three days straight, I could hear my heart beat. Just a constant awareness that would never go away. I couldn’t sleep. It was a psychological thing and not physical but man I understood what this guy was going through. It’s just so discomforting, so never ending.
Until you said this I'd blocked this out of my memory because it happened to me as well. I could feel every heartbeat for days on end, the feeling of the muscles in my wrists tension increasing and decreasing, creepiest thing ever
I started having panicked attacks 3 years ago and they lasted for like a month,the fear the anxiety,depression,
ear ringing made me very aware of my surroundings and myself it was a very bizarre constant feeling 24/7. It was a nightmare for the very 1st year and 2nd year I started living more with that fear knowing it's just an anxiety fight or flight mode that makes me so aware of everything but still scared of it and my brain not wanting to accept that was anxiety. By the third year bad anxiety is gone but irrational thought still there and the awareness but don't fear it as much as before since I know it's just there to save me that's why I'm so aware of everything cause my subconscious remembers those years of panic attacks and anxiety so it's always on the lookout for trouble I need to rewire my brain more and more and learn to relax more
And more. Slowly but surely. But the brain is powerful. I am sure people like the patient realized that hearing his heartbeat is not gonna hurt him but is actually saving him, keeping him alive the Brian realized there was nothing to fear just like me hearing the tinnitus at night, I was a complete mess fearing that sound and not wanting to be alone hearing it at night so I would always had something muffing the sound but nothing worked since I was fearing it. Until I realized it just another sound and I started hearing this sound because I developed it after panic attacks it was just my brain trying to protect me amplifying sound to hear everything better, then I started getting used to more and more.❤
I can hear my heart beat in my head. It's nowhere near as drastic as this though. I do have medical issues that complicate life but I take it as a welcome sign that my heart is still pumping. It's annoying, downright painful when my blood pressure elevates, but I also have PTSD so it's really encouraging to see people with PTSD being listened to. Albeit very late sometimes, It's still nice to know you're being listened to.
i get the same emotional resonance from you as the man in this episode. i am so very happy people are listening to you now. get better and have a good day. ⛅️🌷🌱
The way they handled that was perfect. This guy was clearly no okay from being a vet but they really knew how to handle it
Imagine finally hearing you're not crazy and you actually have a problem, but it's not fixable...
Choi makes sure every patient is calm and knows they are safe god bless him for becoming a dad and bless him if he decides to be a realdoctor
If you tell a doctor that you have a certain condition they will investigate everything BUT the condition you claim to have.
I feel for him. Sometimes, because of certain health issues, I can hear my heart beating and it is the worst thing when you are trying to sleep. Just the constant noise in your ear, it’s like torture
Choi was so kind to him and even showed him his patient’s heart so it wasn’t so bad. Now that’s a true doctor 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
I have a malformation on the left side of my brain, I know exactly what he means with the heartbeat thumping in your head. The actor playing the patient played this very well as you can probably imagine it does get very annoying hearing your heartbeat every day of your life for real sufferers
Sometimes, I do hear my heart beating when I lie on my stomach, it's very comforting to me
I had my first anxiety attack about 8 months after my deployment...I had no idea what was wrong but I was losing it, and feeling claustrophobic and a severe fear of being out in the open, it was terrifying. Many years later and I've had to increase my meds then switch them, my triggers started getting worse and I was re-diagnosed (kinda, it's hard to explain) with C-PTSD and I'm going through intense counseling as a vet AND as a female Army Combat Veteran. It's a nightmare, a prison without physical walls, but MY VA has definitely been a source of outstanding care when I needed it the most...It broke my soul when I found out that my experience was not the norm. I've had run ins especially when I was homeless with a disabled son, whom I gave birth to while in the Army, the social worker was an absolute asshole and they had to get her away from me. I appreciate the overall care for Veterans, but as a woman, myyyyy GOD it's been HARD....NO REGRETS, I just bless God that I still have a passion for being a mother, comedian and prayerfully soon, an author, I may have lost everything else about me, but I'm so very grateful for what remains🫶🏾
Bless ❤
@@truenokill 🥰
Best luck👍
The sad look on his face when someone finally believed him made me so sad 😭😭
This just too sweet! *"Brother in arms!"*
I have a condition called Atrial Fibrillation as a result of post childbirth sepsis. Due to the meds I take, it makes the heart beat harder but slower. I can feel and hear my heartbeat in a very similar fashion. I sympathize with this poor guy. Out returned servicemen need to be treated like the heroes that they are. Sacrificing good health and the love of family and community to enlist to fight for our freedom, only to come home injured and permanently mentally scarred, only for the government they served to pretty much turn it's back on them until they go off the edge.
I had to have an epi-pen injection once because of an antibiotic (had my father not been allergic to bees-and immediately recognized what it was-I had not been at their house I probably would not be alive). There for a few minutes, and the subsequent panic attack the whole thing it induced, I swear I could feel -and hear-my heart pounding in my ears for a few minutes. It was the most…unsettling and upsetting physical experience I’ve ever had. I’ve had several surgeries-one major one- and would rather wake up with a tube down my throat in pain than experience that again. I can absolutely imagine that having this happen all the time would drive a person quite literally insane. That being said, had someone given me the whole “your heart is their for you speech”…I might have thought about ripping theirs out for a moment.
Nice pun
I have always been able to feel/hear my heart. I didn't know this was weird!
Me, too!
I hear my heartbeat in my ear too. For me it’s Pulsatile Tinnitus, it comes and goes. Im glad it’s not constant. Sometimes it’s annoying, other times it’s actually kinda soothing.
I can so relate to this guy. About 2 years ago I developed severe pulsatile tinnitus. I will never forget waking up at 2am on a Monday to my heartbeat loudly pounding in my head. Good news was MRI ruled out an aneurysm, bad news was it was constantly pounding and looked like something I'd have to just live with. I had trouble sleeping, working.... Like the patient there were days it was driving me crazy. Then there were a couple times it just literally stopped - went silent for a few seconds. The first time that happened I was like oh crap did my heart stop? Am I dying? About 8 months later the intensity greatly diminished. Eventually the condition went away - thank goodness. Don't know why it started, or why it stopped.
I will say though that even though I was learning to live with it, I could still feel it chipping away at my sanity.
Sorry to hear that man so glad ur better now 🙏🙏🙏
Certain antianxiety drugs can cause you to hear your heartbeat. Rather ironic as the sound can increase your anxiety!
I'm wondering if he could have gotten medical attention faster by calling emergency 911 from his home or somewhere.
I can hear my heartbeat. I thought this was normal.
Huh no
I actually cried with this one. This medical show is not that scary which is good. House is like that. I'm sure it appeals to a lot of viewers but not me. This show is softer and makes me actually feel sympathy. Not just fear.
The patient is such a great actor ❤
That's why I like doctor Choi
I have an anxiety disorder and when I get really anxious I can hear and feel my heartbeat in my head. He said this started for him 6 months ago. I'd be acting the same way. It's a very unnerving sensation
I developed tinnitus on my left side a couple months ago. I don’t know if it’s permanent, and I have been managing, but it gets bad some days. Imagining having it as loud as this guys’ and connected to my heartbeat is chilling.
How’d u get it?
God Bless Our Vets 🇺🇸
if they're not war criminals
"can hear his own heartbeat" Is that unusual? No, seriously. I've always been able to hear mine.
I believe this isn't normal, no, I can only hear mine when I'm extremely stressed out/agitated and the heart is thus going cuckoo.
The meta critique of the US health care system is spot on, I mean, how far you have to go to be finally taken seriously
Dr.Choi probably is one my favorites bc he can keep calm but also help by relating to his vet patients
My heart does the same thing, it makes my entire body move, except i dont hear it pounding.
"where is your heart? behind your chest, behind your bra???" 😂 I found that funny.
If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it
A doctor's job is to heal not just the physical but also the psychological. And that's what those two doctors did for this veteran.
I dont like it when patients get upset in the waiting room. Like yeah, you've been waiting for a long time, but so have all the patients waiting before you.
Brilliant actors. Damn, they carried this episode. The vet-to-vet interaction is so good. 4:47 is my favourite, so much pain, so much understanding. All those small details… mwah.
I know how he feels… I got so upset once I told them let me go get hit by car and then come back. Sometimes you have to yell. Pain does crazy things.
1:54 That is the best response for this
That was a fantastic response indeed😂
Did anyone else stomach turn hearing and watching that pencil slowly enter his ear
yes!!
This comment helped me. I thought it would be so much worse. So, I was fine, thanks to your comment that I read before watching! 😊
Not really. I'm a bit jaded to gore and medical injuries. I've had to clean my grandfather's open chest from liver transplant. The doctors couldn't close it all the way because of inflammation. We had to take him home that way and wait two weeks before the swelling went down and he could be closed up completely.
Ear cleaning ASMR
Yes
"I can hear my heart beat in my head"
"we don't beleive you, you're insane"
sees gelo
"we were wrong"
"Haaa told you, fix me"
"we can't, think positif when you hear it...."
that is the stupidest thing that could have come out of this....
Im personally the type to calm down with some repetitive sounds in the background, like a clock ticking and heartbeats.
Ever since I was a kid, I always calmed down while listening to my parents' heartbeats, even my older brother's. So, whenever i start hearing my own, i actually feel relaxed and calm.
I got a skull fracture over a year ago. Also fractured a small bone in my ear in the impact. There is now a little piece of titanium in my head to replace that small bone.
At some point in the whole process, I remember that I could hear my heart beating for a short time. That pulse is gone now, but has been replaced with tinnitus (ringing) due to the hearing loss I sustained from the whole thing, and was never completely fixed by the operation.
It is only in one ear, but it is a near-constant ringing nonetheless. it’s probably actually constant, but my ADHD lets me ignore it half the time. I have read that the ringing from tinnitus has driven some people to madness and/or suicide. Extremely unlikely to happen with me, but I would imagine that the man in this video’s PTSD probably had an additionally detrimental effect on his mental health.
Am I not supposed to hear my heart??
Sounds like pulsatile tinnitus, tinnitus is absolutely awful. I've had it since 11/21/21 and I was getting to a point like him. People don't realize how panicky hearing something NONSTOP is. Mines a high frequency constant pitch. I get pulsatile tinnitus of hearing my heart beating in my ears when I go shooting and wear putty earplugs and I bend down to pick up bullets, I couldn't deal with it 24/7. My heart goes out to everyone with tinnirus
The actor kiiiilledddddd this role!
Man, I know how that feels. There are times in the night I couldn't sleep when my room is completely silent, and all I can hear is my heartbeat...
But damn, this actor is good, the way he played desparateness, I was so convinced that he could hear his heartbeat
i can hear mine,but it doesnt make me crazy,it's kinda calming.
It takes a vet, to heal a vet. I'm glad within Season 1, we get to figure out that Choi was a marine. If I missed it correct me, but I'd like to see choi and halstead work together. I know we won't get to see that now, but it would've been cool to see.
The last few words really made me cry
I have Tinnitus and I never fought in any wars.
Just stressed. This is heart wrenching to know he has to deal with this.
Man DK has become an awesome person, happy for him, Yakuza in Japan was a bad idea.
Glad to see the guy got a real career.
I'm glad he didn't hurt anyone in order to see a doctor
Why? Why not?
I watched some of the videos now when I see the people in pain I actually feel the same pain
This gotta be my favorite video in the internet 😢❤
DAMN this was powerful... daaaamn. Not just medical, not just physical, they not only tell him the truth that they can't do anything physically, they find a way to do something for him emotionally. Hits HARD.
yeah, no. I'd just end it, that sounds like too much..
Bruh why this make me low-key cry
I love that they always call security and five seconds later they call Choi, since security is useless in 9 out of 10 cases...
Imagine how hard your heart has to be beating for it to effect things around you. Now imagine being able to hear it internally
Vets deserve more treatment than they are given so many of them end up homeless and on the streets and this man stuck with his Belief that he was in pain and he refused to give up and that takes a great deal of strenght
I suffer from pulsatile tinnitus. You hear your heart beat in your ears. It's so loud and made is active when my anxiety kicks in.
I'd seen this clip already a while ago, but recently I've gone through some acute anxiety and began associating the sensations and sounds of my heart in a nagative way, the constant palpitations and feeling like it wasn't beating properly really freaked me out and it wasn't until I was given Propranolol AND went through some tough mental adjustments to that I learned to subdue some of that medical paranoia, try and remind myself that my heart is beating normally, that its working hard to keep me alive ❤
I feel for the guy. I've had pulsatile tinnitus for over 10 years and I hear my heart. Used to drive me crazy too
What frustrates me is that it's a representation of how people (front staff) don't listen until the customer/client/patient gets unruly and ridiculous in their language or request
It's true - the fact that he was right and they almost didnt do anything for him and furthermore saw him as crazy when he had a rational response to an issue any one of us could have...
Good clip real good clip I love Chicago Med it's the best series out of one Chicago.
I suffer from pulsating tinnitus in both ears and it impacts negatively on my whole life
I needed to see this today. I'm not a vet but I do have some similar scar tissue from past surgeries and procedures...this echo thing is not nearly as bad as this guy's but it was TERRIFYING when it started. In one way it's kind of like waterboarding torture, the unendingness of it all...in another way there's a constant fear that suddenly it's going to just...stop. Keeping my weight way, way down has been helpful in reducing the pressure sensation and therefore the sound, but I always have to have some other kind of sound happening, particularly when I'm trying to sleep, to drown it out. A loud fan and some white noise or some calming music along with the fan. It's manageable now but that silence with only your heartbeat to keep you company is one of the most scary things. No escape from it!
this is actually a phobia and i suffered with this for a LONG time, i had severe melt down because of it. safe to say its been years since its happened
Knowing that I used to hear my heart beat, I feel this man's pain.
Yes I know it's a show, but hearing your heart beat can be very annoying.
You mean they couldn’t operate on the scar tissue just enough to disrupt the echo-chamber effect?
I have been always searching up why I hear my heartbeat in my head ,have seen an ENT doctor and a cardiologist but never got my answer,(I don't hear all time ),never thought it in a beautiful way ,the doc's word are comforting
Making your enemy your friend, in a good way. Genius, coming from someone understands military injuries.
I deal with my heart beat in my ear, by back ground noises, chewing gum. I also at night try to put words to the melody, lol. I fall a sleep faster. It’s been with me so long that I have noticed it’s loudest when over tired. So rest keeps it in check. Anyway that is my take on the noise I hear 24/7 minus when I finally sleep. My fault I’m a night owl! Be safe, Be well.
“Just because I am a vet does not mean I am a mental case!”
“Wel u did stab youreelf in the head”
I love this
I have very bad anxiety I can feel my eyes rattling like a tail of a rattle snake and I can also hear my heart beating through my head and it beats so fast and so loud it’s like a drum set and I’ve been diagnosed with it for the past 5 years
I love these shows all the actors are excellent in every episode
