Rushing fluid sound in back of neck by base of skull

[supersketch]

I have a 7mm mca aneurysm and I am waiting for my second meeting with a neurosurgeon. Over the last six weeks I have had a fluid rushing sound in the back of my neck at the base of my skull. No vision changes, no headache at that time just a sound I hear that makes me nervous and lasts for between 1 and 3 seconds. I have also been getting headaches for about three weeks now and have never had headaches in my life but did recently start taking 10 mg of Lexapro. I am 26 years old and have no symptoms except for the headaches. They are sometimes extremely short and painfull and some are long and dull. Should I see someone before the 30th which is my next appt. or wait. The aneurysm was found after I had a splitting headache while at work that only lasted about 30 seconds and that was 2 days after I started the Lexapro so the aneurysm may not even be causing the symptoms. What questions should I ask this neurosurgeon that I am going to see. I was referred to him after another neurosurgeon said that coil embolization is something I should look into brfore a clipping. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give on this subject.

I am a 22 year-old female.  I started experiencing this draining sound at the base of my skull one year ago. It really freaked me out.  I asked my chiropractor and he said he'd be more worried if I couldn't hear it. It is the cerebral fluid draining from your brain into your spinal column.  He said it must drain or too much pressure will build up.  He reassured me it was ok.

Io ho tutti i sintomi che ho letto in questa comunità , ma i miei dolori sono molto forti e sto male dal 2000. Nessun dottore mi sa dire di cosa si tratta, voi avete ricevuto qualche diagnosi? Vorrei sapere, grazie.

It happens to me and I think it's a normal healthy thing.   Many older people suffer from hydrocephalus, fluid pressure buildup on the brain.   Sometimes this condition is address by installing a drain (shunt) to drain the fluid down to the abdominal cavity.  My hunch is that the impact from walking barefoot helps facilitate normal drainage.

I'm also on the computer, constantly, as a programmer. I work from home and usually layback on a couch or bed while I work on my laptop for hours. My brothers a massage therapist and told me I'm building up tissue on my back and bad posture. He mentioned that I should get craniosacral massage therapy done but he doesn't know if that help. I've had this crackling, draining sound at the base of my scull for years but it doesnt hurt, doesnt cause headaches or cause any other problems that Ive experienced. I do have anxiety but I've had that before I started experiencing these sounds. I read somewhere else that some has had this since he was 18 and he's now 40 so while it sounds like it can be uncomfortable for some people here you dont here of anyone dying from it or it turning out to be a big medical problem so for those of you that have anxiety try to put this one worry behind you and check back once in a while to stay in the loop :)

That is so wild! I found people that have had that same fluid sound and it feels like a flutter or bubbling. I t only lasts a few seconds and goes away as fast as it comes. I haven't experienced that for a long,long time. I do get cluster headaches, have fibromyalgia  and i use Prozac.
