Seronegative RA itself usually does not directly cause a throbbing sound in one ear. What you are describing sounds like pulsatile tinnitus, which can be linked to blood flow or ear related issues. It is worth getting it checked by a doctor to rule out things like blood pressure changes or ear problems. Better to be safe and get a proper evaluation.

Can seronegative RA cause heart throbbing in one ear? This is a really important question to explore, especially since RA can affect more than just the joints.
While there's no direct evidence linking seronegative RA specifically to heart throbbing in one ear, RA is known to increase the risk of certain heart-related conditions. These include:
- Heart failure — where the heart doesn't pump blood efficiently, which can cause unusual sensations
- Atrial fibrillation — an irregular or rapid heartbeat, which people with RA are about 60% more likely to develop than those without RA
- Coronary artery disease (CAD) — people with RA develop this at up to twice the average rate A pulsing or throbbing sensation in the ear can sometimes be linked to heart rhythm irregularities or blood flow issues, both of which are more common in people with RA.
It's really important to speak with a doctor — ideally both a rheumatologist and a primary care doctor — as soon as possible about this symptom. Many people with RA aren't aware of the cardiovascular risks, so getting proper screening is key. Don't wait on this one!
