What Is This Weird "sound" In My Head Posted: 06-29-05 13:38pm
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.

This maybe of no help at all, but ive also
had this same experiance its only happened
a few times when I try to get to sleep, I
get a loud pop as if a bubble has burst in
the back of my head. Actually very scary
when it first happened.
For me it seems to happen when im just on
the verge of dropping off to sleep.
Please let me know if you find out the
cause.
