What causes popping sensation in head?
Patient: Years ago I experienced a popping in my head. Before it happened I had a dull headache. I bent over and I heard and felt a popping sensation in the back of my head. I was unable to stand upright without a rushing feeling in my head. I was hospitalized and for several nights I would have a strange rushing sensation when I would sit upright. I know this sounds strange, but it has always concerned me but I don t really speak about it because of how crazy it sounds. I was never diagnosed. I basically diagnosed myself with TIA. Doctor: HiPopping inside the Brian is not a usual phenomenon. it does happen to few people. it doesn't happen inside the brain it is related to the muscles attached to your head, neck, cervical spine or just the jaw. don't have to worry about it , doesn't cause any harm to you. unless you have a stiff muscle in the above said regions. it can also be a release of the wax in the ear which causes the same effect. hope I helped you to get some idea. best is to ignore it.
