Just visit your doctor for advice.

My first thought is a heart or blood vessel problem, such as an enlarged/dilated aorta (aneurysm) or heart valve abnormality. A cardiac echo would be helpful in determining this if not already done.  If your cardiologist has really given you an extensive workup and subsequent clean bill of health, then another possibility is pulsatile tinnitus.  Thyroid is something that also comes up, but usually it's in association with a fast heart rate.
