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.

Hello; I am 36 weeks pregnant with my first baby and about 2 weeks ago I started experiencing those zapping head surges; they feel like electricity or blood flow shooting through my head; but last only about 2 seconds..  The first few times it happened; I chalked it up to anxiety and stress, but then it happened about 8 times in 1 day.  I was so nervous that I left work and went to the ER; only for them to tell me that it was probably panic attacks because all my vital signs were normal and I had suffered from panic attacks in the past.  They told me to follow up with my OB, who then referred me to a Neurologist.. She suggesed I have an MRI because she has never heard of this before.   I know this is NOT related to panic attacks... I can't stand the fact that these Dr.'s are so quick to jump to conclusions because they don't want to take the time to look into something that they can't understand.  I am even more nervous now because I am very close to my delivery date; and I want to know what is going on with my head before I deliver this baby.  I am suffering from insomnia these days due to pregnancy; and have very low blood pressure; but it seems to me that this is something else.  If anyone comes up with a diagnosis; PLEASE LET ME KNOW ... so that I can run it by my Dr. as well.  I hope you all feel better soon.
Thanks,
JoJo

Hi need, will you please tell me your name, firstly when you mentioned about the knocking noises in the middle of the night you put a sudden thought in my head ha ha i will tell you, i just thought about when i was younger and i was suddenly awoke in the middle of the night by what seemed to be knocking noises, well me being half asleep jumping up getting dressed rushing down the stairs to answer the door thinking i had slept in for work then to answer the door to see Vikki standing there my now wife, she had been throwing stones,pebbles at my bedroom window to wake me, i lived at home with my mam and dad at time, so i thought i was off to work but was relieved to know it was the middle of the night, she then used to sneak in with me, so i certainly was not hearing knocking noises, there was knocking noises lol

i cant imagine what you must feel by this knocking noise, you will have to tell me more or maybe it is very hard to explain what it is like, i had hoped others may have given their thoughts on this for you or that others may have had the same experiences, we will have to wait and see, i know what you mean sometimes you dont know what to think, am i really hearing this, is this really happening etc

i wonder if the warm shower did have some effect on this for it to be much louder than usual maybe or maybe not, i get the ringing in ma ears too just recently but no knocking just those zappy surges, if i start knocking i will let you know

i'm so pleased that things are better for you right now, lets hope it stays this way and continues to improve, i wish i had some input to give you but i am new to all of this myself, thats very interesting what the neurorad said to you concerning the spinal lesions, with some more in-depth info i hope you get more answers concerning this

you mentioned about the migraines i have one right now affecting the left back quarter of my head, this aint a migraine it really hurts nothing like a migraine and i was getting a few sensations on the left to go with it not to worry see how it goes i am used to getting these things now

anyway yes you take care too and have some fun!!!

and we are really pleased you like the picture and it is really nice of you to say you liked it lotsa luv take care hugs

Oh, the neurorad actually talked to me on the phone from the hospital because she said that they all think my spinal MRI lesions are weird.  Anyway, she thought that it seemed that my immune system might be hyperactive.  I asked her if it could be from my chemical exposure and around the end of last year she said, "Yes, but she would need to know what chemicals I have been exposed to."  That is an ongoing battle in the courts for me.

Anyway, take care and have some fun!!!  

P.S.  I really like you and your sweetie's picture!

Before I was diagnosed over the last few years I was asleep when I got these knocking noises.  I mean, I would get out of bed in the middle of the night and get further dressed and go check the door.

This time was the first time it happened so loudly I heard it in the shower.  But, the shower was feeling nice to me so it was probably too warm.  Otherwise I usually get the continual ringing.  I have had it for over a year.  But, when I went to the hospital in December for the morphine IV, the headache became so much better and most of the ringing has resolved.  I can tell things are starting to come back, but so far it has been the best that it has been in a long time.  I would just go get these narcotics more often if I knew that they would always have this effect.  Makes me wonder how much is migraines or what.  The neurorad thinks I may be experiencing recurrent encephalomyelitis and an atypical MS.  But, no infection has ever been found when my spinal fluid and blood were tested.

Have any other thoughts?  Good to hear from you.  I hope that you are doing better!

Hi need, sounds like you have had maybe effects from heat intolerance after the hot shower, cant be nice for you wakening up feeling like that, i wake feeling awful as if i cant and dont want to move especially with my head and lower back takes me a while to kinda get to grips with things first thing and to get going, i feel crappy when i first wake i'm all over the place, the zappy surges are very strange happened to me a few times but that was the first with the loud noise in ears i guess maybe it depends on where its zapping ya

the knocking at the door thing or the knocking noise thats a strange one maybe someone else has experienced something similar

take care

I get zappy surges, also.  I know this sounds weird, but, sometimes I wake up with either my body going into a spasm like it has been electrocuted or else sometimes I wake up thinking that I heard a knocking at the door.  I had it for the first time awake after getting out of a warm (probably too warm) shower.  I could not get dressed fast enough to get to the door.  Noone was there when I got there.  So, I am unsure if it was a weird brain zap or really someone that I missed.  Anyone else experience such a phenomenon?
