Thanks for replying Mary
Sometimes i have high blood pressure but sometimes its normal.
I had an echocardiogram which showed some small leaky valves but the technician said it wouldnt cause this?
It also said mild displacement of the tricuspid valve(Ebstein's anomaly) with no functional abnormality-so i dont know?
Were you able to take some medication to make it stop?
Thankyou
Mary

Me too, last night as a matter of fact too. From what I'm told, I had a nocturnal seizure last night, and did 'feel' my heartbeat in my ear when I was trying to fall asleep. I had already taken my meds for the evening, so I did not 'need' to take any meds(According to my Neuro) Luckily, I was able to fall asleep but think I had a nocturnal seizure.

Has your neuro suggested anything about high blood pressure? Or having a cardiologist check on your heart? The reason i ask is because i used to have that too. I've had grand mal seizures since i was 13, i'm 48 now and have cardiovascular disease ( 3 stents in my heart), and lupus. I'm doing just fine now, and can finally walk from the car to the store without stopping to take a breath. Now i walk so fast my husband can't keep up with me. Just a thought for you. Hope you feel better. Mary
