Squeaking from throat after heartbeat?
I have an untreated pfo, history of ministroke, but I’m confident I’ll get that fixed as I am only 24 and in otherwise good shape. However, I am really curious as to why I hear squeaking noises coming from my throat after my (exercise) heartbeat?
I am aware it could be p.tinnitus, but in that case it isn’t logical that another person could hear the sound. I believe it is coming from my vocal chords, because my girlfriend heard it after sex. It is a high pitched whistle after each heartbeat. How could an increase in blood pressure cause air to be pushed from my lungs with enough force to make a whistling sound, and is this something that I should be worried about?
Any educated answer will help me direct my questions to my cardiologist, I am by no means looking for a cure…thanks in advance.

The whistling is the hole in your heart. The shape and orientation of your aorta cause it to carry the sound upward so that it sounds like it is coming from your neck, and people also expect sounds from your throat, so their estimate of where sounds come from are often distorted by expectation.
Grab a stethoscope or have your girlfriend put her ear against your chest.
I have pulsatile tinnitus and its not that. The sound your hearing is probably stridor. You should see a ENT Dr and have them take a look down your throat.
