What Is This Alarming "sound" In My Head Posted: 06-29-05 13:28pm
Yikes, I just posted this in the wrong
forum. I think i've got it figured out
now. 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 dint see how long ago this post was, but
seems to me you should go to the Dr.
Doesnt sound right. Even if they think
your crazy.
Ive heard of pple hearing bird like noises
in the head or most of us have heard the
buzzing in the head, but a popping then
shock like sensation.???
