Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Headache and cracking sound from neck on movement is suggestive of cervical spine related problems.
So better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination and MRI of cervical spine.
Also get done calcium and vitamin d 3 levels as deficiency of these can also cause similar symptoms.
If deficiency then you will need supplements.
Don't worry, you will be alright. Consult orthopedic doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
