I have episodes of "hearing" my heartbeat... each beat... clearly within my ears.  I also have episodes of my head pulsating to the point that it does nod to and fro just slightly when I'm completely still.

I also, at those same times, can feel ever literal pound of my heart within my chest walls and my body also nods to and fro.  At times, I become nauseaus (?sp) and lightheaded.

It happens many times in the dead of sleep, in the dead of night, and I actually awaken because of the sensation along with nausea and dizziness - laying in the bed.

It also happens while I'm just sitting regardless of what I'm actually doing; ie., tv, reading a book, etc...

I've had echocardiograms and dopplers and whatnot and all they found was degenerative mitral valve disease and my left ventricle thickening with a low ejection function rating BUT still within the normal range. 

My PCP says, that I'm perfectly OK - won't refer me to a cardiologist - and I have no insurance or money to see a cardiologist on my own at the moment.
