I never used to look at it that way, "Your heart is fighting for you to live", until I saw this episode. Every time I get sick or have an anxiety attack I put my hand over my heart and just listen to it. 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.

[@schleepy6362]

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 :/

@@angeldark404 IKR? In my case it has sometimes been a precursor to passing out. A very welcome signal btw. Having it happen while riding my bike has gotten me off the road instead of under someone's vehicle. Now that signal shows up I drop everything. Turn off stove top etc and pray I don't pass out for 48+ hours. I usually call the Dr within a day, if it doesn't resolve, for whatever pushed my health over the edge. It's also associated with my asthma, when my O2 or hydration goes down my heart pushes harder. So stupid to ignore that signal.

In theory sure, in reality they can't encourage that behaviour. If people knew all they needed to do to get immediate attention is cause a fuss everyone would do it, I don't think I need to explain why that's an issue. Also acting threatening towards people trying to do their jobs isn't okay. There's no real solution.

If I'd done what you suggest I could have taken a bed from someone suffering a heart attack. What about patients who are in severe distress but physically can't make a fuss because of COPD? What about someone who does kick up a fuss and the doctor gets annoyed and declares nothing wrong solely so they get fined? There was nothing immediately dangerous about this guy's condition that he couldn't have waited an hour or two for the triage nurse to get to him, and he took a lot of time and resources away from people who needed it. Basing triage on who's the loudest is about the stupidest way to do it imaginable.

[@rainrains2509]

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

[@thenoxbox3871]

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).

[@kevinwg02]

so they won't help because it will lower their stats ? that's just great....

[@rainrains2509]

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

[@firetech700]

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.

[@NicoleCamp88]

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.

[@lv4313]

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.❤

[@MountainPearls]

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 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.

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 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

[@arirose6310]

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

[@shallyhutch4032]

This gotta be my favorite video in the internet 😢❤

[@FoxyPercival714]

I have Tinnitus and I never fought in any wars. Just stressed. This is heart wrenching to know he has to deal with this.

Bruh why this make me low-key cry

[@themightypotatodevourer]

Did anyone else stomach turn hearing and watching that pencil slowly enter his ear

[@lokilover3746]

yes!!

[@JamaicanRain]

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! 😊

[@TheScarletLadle]

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 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.

[@amnafathima52]

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

[@shdox_]

1:54 That is the best response for this

[@sirkole5517]

That was a fantastic response indeed😂

[@chrissyemert8781]

Am I not supposed to hear my heart??

[@BlueSkyFan77]

Good clip real good clip I love Chicago Med it's the best series out of one Chicago.

[@Mydadgotmilkuwu]

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.

[@ChristineSell-nf8eg]

Making your enemy your friend, in a good way. Genius, coming from someone understands military injuries.

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.

[@dianetandy1757]

I suffer from pulsating tinnitus in both ears and it impacts negatively on my whole life

[@swedishshortsnout5610]

The monitor at 7:07 makes me laugh at the inconsistencies to reality on medical dramas. The screen is showing a transesophageal echo (produced from a probe down the throat). Note that the heart is flipped vertically on the screen and TEE is written in the top right corner. The doctor is clearly doing a transthoracic echo (TTE) from outside the body! lol

[@zandorvorkov7257]

"can hear his own heartbeat" Is that unusual? No, seriously. I've always been able to hear mine.

[@Sapphiresenthiss]

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.

[@ottokarl5427]

I love that they always call security and five seconds later they call Choi, since security is useless in 9 out of 10 cases...

[@Jason.Atkinson]

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

[@travissgrey]

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.

[@Jacksonhf123]

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

[@scottw6704]

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!

[@randomizationme]

I'm glad he didn't hurt anyone in order to see a doctor

[@JJScene]

Why? Why not?

[@Rubina980]

Is this not normal? I literally always hear my heartbeat when I'm lying down

[@PinkieJoJo]

I used to work in a cancer floor and patients with low blood counts or dehydration used to say they would hear their heart beating in their ears as well. One lady used to say she used that as her way of knowing when she needed to get in to be seen and each time her counts were way down.

He's a good actor ❤
