I am 25 years old. I have this popping in my head. I have been diagnosed with lyme disease. - Something for you to think about.

I am 33 and have been experincing this for years. I have stopped going to the doctor because she thinks it is panic or something else. It is VERY scary because you do get anxious that it is something more serious. There is definately a warming sensation afterwards and sometimes the mild headache. It is so nice to read that others have the same issues. I am interested to hear any more suggestions as to what this might be and how to avoid it.

Hello everyone,
6 years ago I sustained a head trauma as a result of repeated kicks to the brain stem area. Along with the neck injury came a strange symptom. Due to (i'm going to guess) muscle spasms, I would pop in the left side of my neck as if when I moved it beyond a particular range of motion. It would immediately be followed by a burning pain (pretty debilitating) that would result in temporary numbing in the center of my tongue. It felt as though it was very heavy or the sensation that it was being pushed down. All told, would last about one minute and eventually slowed down in frequency. At the time, the neurologist (Yale affiliated, and supposed to be good) scratched his head with my report of these symptoms. My neck was not directly the issue at the time, they seem to focus more on brain trauma. Since then, I have developed a worsening (degenerative disc) condition in which a couple of discs are protruding into my spinal cord. My physicians believe that the spinal cord compression is playing a part in symptoms because the cranial nerve #12 affects the sensory/motor functioning of your tongue. I am still testing and pushing the issue. They really underestimated the power of the spinal cord as it applies to some more uncommon symptoms. I have also presented with chronic muscle twitches/shocks (myoclonus) that they thought were potentially seizure related. Wrong! Also, spinal cord related. Be proactive and get a consult for what could be a disc issue. Hope this helps. Wink
