Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
The crunching noise in your head, is not typical of any neurological disorders or any specific types of headaches.
But tension type headache can cause a similar clinical situation.
Anyway, considering your headaches and the drowsiness, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical check up and some tests: a brain MRI study, complete blood count for anemia, thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction, PCR and sedimentation rate for inflammation.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing all the best, Dr. Aida
