My Lyme doc had no idea what I was talking about when I spoke about the brain swooshing. He said your nose is stuffy isnt it. I hate this s.... I said this has been happening for 4 years. It began near my ears on the side of my head now it it on the top of my head also. i said I spoke w alot of lyme patients of lyme on this forum they said its hypercoagulation he almost laughed. I read and you all have told me this could be hypercoagulation. Is there a test for this. Why wouldnt a Lyme doc know about this.

Yes I had this for a few years. Swooshing inside my head, also a feeling of vibration. I used to hear a lot of clicking inside my head, most of the times it was on either side of my ears in addition to the ringing and buzzing. Now with treatment most of that is gone. Many Mds I went to looked at me like I was nuts when I would describe this. I even went to an ear nose and throat MD who was one of the 32 doctors I saw before being diagnosed--he said my ears were fine and maybe I needed to see a psychiatrist. I told him I thought he was a lousy diagnostition. Blessings

Most doctors look at me like I'm nuts. I have huge pops in the back of my head and a grinding like chalk a little further down. Occasional clicks around my ears. I didn't know it was hypercoagulation! Will aspirin help?

What is hypercoagulation exactly??????????????

I've had this also. I would get it when I was running on one side of my head. I thought it was a little weird, but at the time had no other symptoms. Years later, little did I know, that it is a lyme symptom.

I'd also like to know what hypercoagulation is.

I am not sure what you mean by brain swooshing, but I can try to explain my symtom, I feel  a very strong pulse on the left side of my body, sometimes my  head, sometimes my back, chest or legs, I am not sure what this is , have been to a neuro and am not ready to do further testing, what he told me is ifit feels like a pulse its vascular if it feels like vibrations is neuropathy, I am feeling fine besides this, have been treated for Lyme for apprpox 1 1/2 years, have been of meds but had some throid issues, my endo said low thyorid can also cause this vibrating feeling.

Most real LLMD's dont laugh when a patient comes in with a strange symtom as the best advise I was given when I first became sick is that WITH LYME EVERYTHING IS NORMAL, kept me going, are you being treated?

Before starting treatment, I was ocassionally experiencing swishing in my right ear at night. Since starting treatment, it's so loud in both ears at all hours that I need to sleep with the sound machine on loud and often keep the tv on during the day just to drown out the sound. We certainly do get stuck dealing with the strangest symptoms.

Well coagulation is what happens when you get a cut right. your blood thickens and forms a scab to close off the wound. An immune response. So it would make sense if lyme messes w immune response that this could happen. This swooshing sound for those who ask I am theorizing and I think others are implieing also that, the blood in our neck and head is in a hypercoagulative state. i not only hear it i feel it. Dr. Burrascano guidelines shows that a hypercoagulative state is a sypmtom of babesia . Located on this site page 26 http://www.ilads.org/lyme_disease/B_guidelines_12_17_08.pdf
