    Does everyone hear the blood rushing in their ears when they squat? It’s a bit unsettling.

    Happened today for the first time while hitting my 295 working sets

    Is it a "bruit"? Look it up.

    I think it is, I’m not entirely sure what it means, I cant find anything linking it to exercise everything seems to talk about it in a medical examination/ sign of arterial disease context.

    Should I go get blood work done?

    Are you taking your valsalva with a closed mouth? How old are you, and what is your educational background?

    I’ve never considered if my mouth is close or open.

    I get it too. I hear it when laying down too. I think it's due to chronic inflammation in my ears from using ear plugs (I have extremely small ear holes).

    Do you use ear plugs?
