What Do Phantom Noises And Jerking Of The Body Indicate?
Consult neuro physician/Reassess all causative probabilities.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Your symptoms suggest a medical condition called episodic cranial sensory shock/Exploding head syndrome. Where a person suddenly hears a bomb like a loud noise in the head.
It's exact cause & mechanism is not exactly known. But it's not that harmful as it sounds. It suddenly appears & lasts for short period.
Scientists have started working on the condition & the picture would be clear soon. It's observed causes are -mild seizures involving the temporal lobe of brain/ear problems/ sleep disturbances/withdrawal of antidepressant medicines.
*You give a history of 3 health conditions which need to be reviewed ( Bipolar personality/sleep apnea /deafness)& medications/ dosage to be changed as per need.
Please discuss it with respective experts treating you.
* Most of the times psychotherapy & counselling reduce & control the problem.
* For acute conditions few specified drugs are known to affect the problem. You need to consult a Neurophysician earliest for selecting one, that's suitable for you.
Also rest assured that the condition is mostly short-lived, it is not harmful health.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
