OK. I am pretty sure that has not happened to me. It goes up, but solid steady beat. I really think I need to see an ENT. I have had sinus and ear issues since at least December. I did one round of antibiotic, but don't think it did anything. I have never had allergy issues, but never know. I feel/hear my pulse - of course that is worse as it goes up. I think sometimes that gives me an anxiety thing and makes it even worse.
