Hi
A pop sound may be heard with certain muscles or tendons rubbing against each other. This can then cause a spasm which can lead to a headache.
In most cases, the headache is not serious. Here are a few things you can try.
Drinking lots of water
Taking warm showers
Steam inhalation
Sitting in a dark room
Getting lots of sleep
Taking an over the counter painkiller that can help
If the headache persists, please see a doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Vignan Rachabattuni
