Clicking In Head (what Is It, What Should I Do?) Posted: 10-03-05 20:34pm
Hi. I'm looking for somebody with some
expert, professional knowledge about
symtoms affecting the head. The past day
or two I have noticed a strange sensation
in my head. It is a light clicking that
I can hear internally and feel, located
slightly to the right of the center of the
top of my head. The only time I really
notice it is when i'm walking; it clicks
with each upward motion in my gait. I
can also feel it if I just bob my head up
and down. The click doesn't hurt, but it
is annoying and has me slightly worried.
I had a headache in the same spot a few
days ago, but i'm pretty sure it was just
from a hangover. But still, it could be
connected and the thought of a stroke or
blood clot or tumor scares me so much.
If anybody has any information as to what
this strange click might be, please reply!
Please!

I am wondering if you have found any more
info about the light clicking in your
head. I am experiencing a similar thing
and am seeking info.
Looking forward to hearing if you have
learned anything. Thank you in advance.

I have the same thing. When I am walking
and I have my head down I hear it. Mine
is from a herniated disc in my neck. I
described it to the doc as if you click
your finger nail on another finger nail.
You really should see if your doc, will
give you a .M.R.I. It is really
annoying, but they told me it is not
servere problem if I am not having pain
with it. Good luck!

Thank you for your reply. Do you mind if
I ask you a few more questions? If you
are willing, 1) where in your head do you
hear the click? Or is it in your neck?
2) does the clicking sound only happen
when your head is forward or does it
happen other times? 3) do you feel any
sensation associated with the clicking
sound you hear? 4) what is your
understanding of how the herniated disc
effects/causes or is related to this
sound? 5)how long have you had it?

1 - I am not sure what area the clicking
comes from but I hear it in my head almost
as if it is behind my throat. 2 - I
seem to hear it when I am walking in a
quiet environment and my head is down.
It seems when I stand straight up, I don't
hear it as much. 3 - I really don't feel
any sensation associated with it. At
first I was worried and had myself all
worked up over it, but not now.
Sometimes I do get numbness and tingling
in my left arm from the herniation, but it
doesn't come just with the clicking. 4 -
from what I understand the doc said, it
is bone or cartilage rubbing when my head
is in different positions. 5 - I have
been dealing with it since 01. I was in
a car accident, not a really bad one, but
the force of the other car hitting me
threw my neck out because I was wearing my
seat belt. I have had problems ever
since.

I also have the clicking in my head when
I'm walking. I think it's weird because I
never had it before. Why does that happen?
Hello eveyone i too have been having a
clicking sound in my head, its on the
right side ubove the temple' its
constantly there and very annoying I have
been very worried about it, Though i have
a degenerating disc problem in top of
neck, i wondered if its something to do
with that, i asked my Doc (not helpfull)
he told me lots of things can go in in the
head when you have had previous injury to
neck.
Could this be true?
i thought same things as owenB blood clot'
stroke' tumor' all the scary stuff
I do feel a bit better reading the forums
and finding i am not alone
so thanks guys
so who thinks it might be serious ?
