Feels like air-bubbles or air-pockets in my head

I'm 20 years old I have been to a Neurologist and have had many CAT scans done and they have all came back normal. I have also been diagnosed with Narcolepsy, and have a low iron deficiency as well. Everywhere I go I seem to be getting no where with anyone as far as whats going on with my head. It feels like air-pockets or bubbles roaming in my head. It started about 7 months ago and persisted for about 3 months and then it went away and now recently i started to feel the air-pockets or bubbles in my head again. I am currently taking a temporary blood-pressure medication right now and all I want to know is can you give me advise as to what i need to do or can you recommend me the best Doctor you know and it doesnt matter where he/she is i will go there.

Hi, I'm 16, and I experience exactly the same as you. I also have narcolepsy. I can also feel air pockets on my head and its really disturbing, it makes me feel irritated sometimes because I don't know how to get rid of it. I could also feel pressures on some parts of my head. I've been in this condition, I think maybe for 2 years. I don't know what the problem is so I don't know what sort of specialist to consult. :(

Gas-ex might help, but it's just temporary. I have this too & severe anxiety disorder (SAD), etc. & it seems to work w/ 2 tablets. Try it & let me know if it helped you @ all & if you find out you can take more than 2 or anything else so our info can help us & others.

Some folks complain of head pressure and zaps associated with cataplexy- as you know it is completely associated with narc.  Alot of people with narc say this happens just before an episode of sleepiness and their body is trying to fight it off and work on automatic bevavior.
Are you being properly treated for Narc?
