Zapping surges through head,

[RIDDICK_777]

Hi, as some of you will already know i added a post recently with my concern in having surges through my head, it is now 4.00 in the morning i cant sleep, i went to bed and after lying there for a while everything seemed fine suddenly i was to jump right up and i mean i jumped up after i had this sudden like zapping surge shoot right through my head and in to both my ears with a very sudden loud beepy tone, this noise was only a very short time but was very loud, the surge was very fast but yes zappy like in nature, this really made me jump up also my wife jumped up beside me to ask if i was ok, i have had the experience of these before but not like this one with that loud bleepy tone noise in the ears, this was over in no time, what an experience, my head was aching afterwards

i carried on laying down thinking things would settle then i had atleast another three to follow this but even though they seemed like zappy surges they did not give me the loud ear thing and they seemed to be in different areas, another strange thought zappy yes, its a word i picked up from Quix and it seems to fit the experience, i was stuck for words to describe these earlier and you know what the strange thing is itn seems as though you can hear these zapping through feelings even when it doesnt seem as though it is in my ears very strange all this although i did have the lightest kinda strange high frequency noise in ma ears and as though my hearing was maybe quite not there but yet it was if ya kinda know what i mean, i aint good at  putting things in to words, bit of a problem with me im afraid but i do ma best

this might sound frightening etc but the strange thing is i am not frightened by this at all, concerned yes, think i was more so a little frightened the first time, hey i will just zap em back they dont call me the shooting star for nothing ya know, fastest slinger in outerspace

joking aside, yes a very strange experience indeed, i will discuss this with my doc later on, hurray i finally get to see my doc, i wonder what joy this will bring, what do you think about this and has anyone else experienced a similar kinda thingy, thankyou for taking the  time to read this post

David.

Hi, thank you all for posting these thoughts....even if noone knows the answer I dont feel like a freak anymore. I have lupus,rhuem arth and fibro, they just cant figure me out. I am taking effexor because anxiety and fibromialgia go hand in hand and it seems to help a TON! I have had these brain pain surges here and there for about 5 months but last night and this morning....wow!!! They happen almost every 5 minutes. I think I'll go for an MRI today so they can send me home undiagnosed and a script for ibuprofin. Anyways if in the rare case they find something (like a lodged crayon in my head) I'll post the results back to you. Thank you all so much and God Bless!

I get the zappy things in my head too, mine is I am sure a form of migraine, when things misfire, but the sound show that you get with it could be the aura part of the migraine too? Some people do get a migraine aura that affects their hearing.  Just a thought, but hey I think the MS population is used to having things short circuit so perhaps it could be to do with that as well
Good luck.

The zzapps remind me of the scene in Men in Black where Jay (Will Smith) touches that floaty energy thingy and it proceeds to bounce all around the room zzapping everything it hits. Yeah, zzapps.

Read Quix's Health Page
http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Multiple-Sclerosis/Paresthesias---Things-That-Go-BUZZ-in-the-Night/show/378?cid=36
Then find another Dr. and cautiously probe to see if they understand paresthesia. It can be both a symptom and sometimes a diagnosis.

Best wishes. Knowledge helps to reduce the worry.

Hello David,

I get those "zaps" too. And sometimes I have the "audible hallucinations" too. At first it scared the hell out of me. It was always just the one big zap and/or noise -- for me it sounds like a very loud cell phone "ring".

It happens as I am falling asleep when it does happen.

My nuero just kind of shrugged his shoulders and said he has heard other people mention the same thing. He didn't think it was anything that would kill me.....

Good Luck!
