What is this buzzing in my head?
Question:
Very often, as I'm about to drop off to sleep, I get a sudden very loud buzz in my head which makes me jump. I also get the strange jerk that we all get, so it's not that.
I'm not worried about it medically - just want to know if it happens to anyone else? (My doctor has never heard of it)
And for the record, narcotics are not a factor!
Answers:
Yes I get that sometimes. I also sometimes get a loud BANG! in my head, like a door slamming. And sometimes hear other stuff, like music.
I have no idea if it's worth worrying about. Since I have always had this happen to me as long as I can remember and seem to be fine, I choose not to worry about it at all. I am interested to know what other people think though

Tell the strange jerk to stop shaving in bed
i think you swallowed a bee that's what making a buzzing sound lol
the brain is EXTREMELY complex (well most peoples are, not sure about george bush's) its likely to just be a faulty wiring or something minor, nothing to worry about, have a deep breath and relax, off you go... zzzzzzzzz
Just a thought, but you would be shocked by how much interference house hold goods give off, how many electrical items have you in your bedroom, i.e alarm clock radio etc etc, take them out and see if the problem still stays
Maybe tinitus? my friend has that, it's noises in the ear canal or inbalance in the ear canal? i get echo sounds in my left ear, doc said just hold the nose and blow, helpful eh? sometimes if i am stressed i hear a loud bang just as i am trying to drift away in sleep?
dont worry i get a simler thing. i find it annoying. i find i get it alot if i angry or i got million things running though my head just as i about to go sleep!!!! dont worry about it. i dont. i had it for about 3 years now.
I think we all have had a buzzing in the ear but normally no. Have you had your blood pressure checked. Even the young can have high blood pressure. It can cause buzzing in the ears.
yea.. i know.
by theory they say itx caused by loud noises. like you ear drums are tired of hearing things continuously all day.. especially if they are loud.
when u go to sleep, as a form of repairing or resting them, u may hear a slight buzzing.
i't doesn't bug me much.. but if it get serious.. like unbearable.. u might wanna consider getting it checked out asap.
I won't be much help here but I used to get it as a young kid/ teenager. I don't know what caused it but it was very loud. It's gone now and has done for years (I'm 45 now). I'm not much help but I just thought I'd let you know you're not the only one. Hope it goes soon.
Your lucky , I get voices !
I hope the strange jerk didnt apply to me ! lol
it used to happen to me when i slept on my back i think it has somthing to do with the phase of deep sleep eg rem phase itterupted by worry or stress.
i also had a phase of going to sleep and then trying to wake up and being paralysed. its realy freaky but try to relax more and it will go away.
Are you laying awkwardly on your ear?
Do you wear a wristwatch in bed?
What's the strange jerk "that we all get"?
Sometimes the fluid that occurs naturally behind the eardrums becomes sort of trapped especially if we rapidly change position, e.g into the lying down position. This can sound like a buzzing as it is swishing off the eardrum causing it to vibrate. Try gradually getting down into the flat position, for example when you get into bed prop yourself up a bit with pillows and gradually reduce them until you are about as flat as you need to be to sleep. Sometimes there can be too much fluid causing all sorts of weird sounds. Get your GP to check your eardrums.
im not a doctor, but i think the buzzing your on about is where our mind is switching off from reality and into the subconcious, we all get it- its just that few recognise it.....ask your doc again it might be tintinus, ( ringing/buzzing in inner ear)
David C has told you. It certainly sounds like (no pun intended) tinnitus.
