Fizzing sound in neck

[Jonw1983]

Hi, for about a year now i have had this fizzing sound in my neck that occurs randomly, usually when i am just laying down. It doesnt occur when i am moving my head or anything, its usually just when i sitting still or laying down. It sounds like it is coming directly from the back of my neck and is starting to worry me. I also experience these weird pains in my head that come for about a second and then go and come back again every 10minutes or so. These pains are in 1 area in the back of my head in about a 1 square inch area.. Any ideas???

Hello I have had this problem for about 20 years I'm now 33 it's at the back of my neck often when I'm really hungry or have a stomach rumble.. it sounds like a little bit of gravel going down the back of your neck for maybe a little over awish a doctor could have this problem as they would have the recourses and knowledge to study this more it's a really weird thing that I don't even bother to tell people because no one ever understands I don't think it's life threatening and will probably have this for life  would love to get to the bottom of this

I have the same popping/fizzing sound in my neck when I lay down.  Have had it for years.  Sometimes it happens when Im standing.  I also hear a similar sound if I have an IV and they flush it.  So I thought maybe something to do with blood flow in neck?  Also, I was in a jacuzzi recently and when tje jet hit a certain spot on my back it created the same sound/sensation.  I asked the neurologist and je looked at me like I was crazy, said maybe some sort of hyper sensitivity or something.  I'm still confused as to what it is.  I just know Im usually feeling bad when it is jappening.

This seems like it may be a decade old. Is amyone still here? Did anyone ever find an answer?

I am so glad I am not alone in this. Honestly it scares me sometimes to consider that this could be some fatal condition no one knows about or the beginning of a schizophrenic break of some kind. From what I have seen on the internet, it probably isn't something to be worried about but I would definitely make an appointment, I know I am. I've had this my whole life and just about 15 minutes ago found out it isn't normal. (I mean I knew it wasn't normal, I just thought people had this).

This is crazy. You can't even get to the bottom of the comment section it goes on forever. I have no answers but also have the same problem. I'm not sure anyone will read this for a while because it's so far to the bottom but I thought I would share my relative issues. I too felt crazy after explaining this to my boyfriend.(He flat out told me maybe I'm a hypocondriac.) I have the same "rainstick" noise always when I'm laying down when I first wake up followed by the hunger pangs. I have a pretty bad hump neck from bad posture especially when I'm sleeping and wondering if that could have any association. I have a bad habit of sleeping on my side with my neck slumped forward and head tilted back. It's a position that I feel comfortable and I've likely been doing all my life and hard to fall asleep in a proper position. I've noticed that when I sleep like this if I feel the back of my neck and the base of the neck is almost touching like the letter c. I also get headaches that I can feel coming on that primarily occur on the weekend of course when I'm off. My work is alot of standing and physically demanding. My headaches gradually worsen thoughout the day from a dull ache at the base of my neck to the point I feel like doing nothing because my head feels like it's carrying a heavy cinder block inside of it and slides forward and throbs when I bend over. I usually just sleep when I get these headaches and it doesn't eliminate the headache at all it just wastes my day. Sometimes depending of the severity advil helps. Also recently I was carrying heavy bags home from the store and noticed when I tried to stand straight I was getting a popping noise in the neck. I've also recently did bloodwork and diagonosed with low iron and am currently on iron therapy 300mg twice a day.
