“Is it normal to hear your heartbeat when exercising?”
When I lift weights I can feel and hear my heart beating. Is this pulsatile tinnitus or is it normal? I don’t think this is a new problem though. From what I can remember I think it’s always happened when I workout. I’ve just only recently noticed that when I wear my earbuds I can hear my heartbeat a lot louder than while they’re off.

Its not unusual to hear your heart beat when you have something covering your ear. The carotid artery runs near the ear canal, so it makes sense that you can hear the heartbeat when the EarPods are in
Yes. Some folks hear it when sleeping, some when exercising. A major artery is near the ear.
