Alarming "sound" In My Head Posted: 06-29-05 13:24pm
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.

I really don't know what to tell other
than it doesn't sound normal.. Why don't
you go to another hospital for a second
opinion. Good luck
