Q: What Is This Weird "sound" In My Head

I am looking for information anyone might have related to this very frightening new problem I have. It started one night about a month ago as I tried to go to sleep. I was without ultram that night due to a mistake by the pharmacy. I take this medication on a daily basis. As I tried to fall asleep, I would hear a very loud pop inside my head. I would jump awake, startled. Nothing like this had ever happened before. I concluded that it must be either a reaction to not having my medication, or a myoclonic jerk. I didn't experience the problem again until last week. This time I was sitting at work - not asleep or trying to go to sleep, and I had my medicine - when again I hear a very loud pop inside my head. It was as startling then as it was the first time I experienced it. But this time, when it happened I also felt like an electrical current was running through my body and my vision dimmed. It was all over in a second, but was quite frightening. I decided it must be stress. Despite all my best efforts, it keeps happening on a daily basis. It's never the same time each day. I can't identify a medication that seems to be causing it. I haven't changed anything about my schedule or diet. Now it's beginning to happen multiple times per day. I have a long medical history including hypothyroid, and damage to ureters from past surgeries for endometriosis. I am also having problems with flushing, almost constant low grade fever, numbness and tingling in my hands and feet, profuse sweating for no apparent reason, a need to constantly swallow and headaches. My gp, I feel, is convinced i'm psychotic. I know it sounds bizarre to complain about such unrelated symptoms, but they are happening. I am on the verge of believing my gp must be correct, but thought I might reach out to some medical forums before I go there. I had a similar problem earlier in life with my endometriosis. My doctors had no clue and told me I was crazy. I found great help in an online forum that eventually led me to the top endo doc. In the country. I'm hoping for the same here. Please help.

Jerk
I just started having them about 2 months ago. Just before I go to sleep my whole body jumps off the bed at one time. Today, trying to take a quick nap, I was lying there and my body jump with this loud pop inside my head. I was scared to move at first, but I am OK, thank God!!

Clicking in Head
Its happens to me too, i get this constant clicking sound in my head, it dont hurt me but is very scary and annoying, also it seems louder when i have a headache i am in chronic pain in other parts of my body, and this all started with the noise in my head when i started taking pain meds, I dont know what it is either' but its very scary, when something is going on in your head, i think something is very wrong going crazy!!! but Doc says thats not the case, lots of things can happen in your head when you have problems with other parts of your body, including (stress' nerves" depression, so i hope thats what it is and not anything more serious, i got to thinking it may have been a tumor or brain emmorrage coming, that makes it worse when your thinking the worse to, i have crumbling discs at back of neck, and i am in constant pain, but this clicking noise in my head can overtake all the pain, it causes me to worry about it and that leads to other things like anxiety, i wish i could give you some advice 'Justdionne but at least your not alone and we are not going 'crazy !

TMJ? a theory
Do you grind your teeth (and not know it) or clench your jaw often. See a dentist for TMJ. I have it, the popping is your jaw popping.

popping on right side of head with migrane
I have been suffering with migranes that start at the right side of the top of my head. I also hear a popping sound on the right side of my head along with it being difficult to turn my head. I have seen a doctor and she placed me on medicine for a sinus infection alon with pain pills. I am really worried, should I ask for an MRI? Can you please help me!

sounds in head
Mine are like sparks usually in threes, like tny short circuits that that come at any time and last variably. recently there seems to be a longereperiod like one second where i get a flash and a buzz. If it lasted longer is suspect I would get dizzy or faint, but it doesn't...yet. I have obs sleep apnea and periodic limb movement. I take Requip for the PLM and seems to help and I can't attribute this to it.
