Nat,

DOCS!!

NOW!!

Ns04

Fat Boy

Definitely docs

davegtt

I always think the same, more likely to catch something going to the doctors at this time of year

Matteeboy

Better to catch a cold at the docs than die of an aneurysm - go NOW!!!

dpb

If you bang your heed hard enuf against the wall itll stop for sure

dpb

Have you got the associated cold ?

Leslie

Better to go to the doctor now than risk spending a long time in hospital.

I would ask my uncle who had similarish symptoms. Trouble is he's now dead - from an aneurysm.

I get a 50hz hum in my head, bit like a mains transformer or an old fluorescent light ballast.

Only happens every now and again...usually when I'm trying to sleep. Every time I moved it stopped, but soon as laid still for a few seconds it would come back.

Drove me mad I originally thought it was something in the house, so I went round turning everything plugged in off (at 3:00AM), to the point I ended up going into the garage and flicking off the main switch on the fusebox....it still did it! I concluded it was either my head or somehow something was resonating from the house next door (detached house) under the ground, up the foundations, up the walls, into the joists, into the bed frame and then into my head!

I went like this for six month, until it finally happened whilst staying away at someone else's house, so I can conclude it me; either I can hear the Hz resonance of mains transformers plugged in from 300metres away or the noise is emanating from my head.


My left ear sometimes (usually after a cold/sinus problem) makes a regular popping sound when I hear running water; very annoying when I'm unrinating.

Sorry to hear ,

But really , what do you do - march into a hospital and demand a brain scan this instant ?

dpb

Ali if the moderater job ever looks in jepardy - youve clearly vast fortunes awaiting you as a medium

Matteeboy

No but do see a doc - the worrying thing is the blurred vision

Uncle's demise was a long while ago now but very sad - he was early 50s and left three sons without a dad

Ali - can you honestly count 50 times a second?!

My GP dismissed it as tinnitus, even though classic tinnitus is associated with high frequencies. I admit I have never had the utmost confidence in him; It always seems he'd rather fob me off and have me out the door than refer me to specialist (yeah, I know I should change my GP).

Otosclerosis and Cochlear Hydrops is one that pops up on my web trawls: Otosclerosis and: Meniere's Disease Information Center -- Symptoms of Meniere's Disease

But I don't get dizzy, and it doesn't define tinnitus as the low pitch hum.


I found this thread was interesting, which doesn't really help, but it means I'm not alone : Hum in the head - Page 2 - HealthBoards.com Message Boards

(I think its Labour's mind scanning satellite making sure I don't commit thought crime ).

If its a artery which just breaks like that i doubt you can do any thing at all even if you did get blurred vision leding up to it....??

Mate of a mate died couple years ago 6 months after it was discoverd he had an inoperable tumor . Apparently no signs before of any problems - that afternoon driving his cab he suddenly felt dizzy/unwell so he rang the guy who owned the cab- who took him to hospital . He also lost control of his bodily functions. poor ******* (53) -he did smoke,dont know if this contributed-

It does make me think whenever i have an unexplained temporal twinge.

Matteeboy

dpb - can't remember the exact details but they reckon it could have been sorted had they spotted it earlier.

Know a 27 year old - super fit guy who dropped dead one night from an undiagnosed heart problem.

Sometimes your time is up and you can't do anything about it.

However I still think Nat should see a Doctor!

Arrgh: I just did a google and found this: Can You Hear the Hum?

It has a sample sound file I played http://media.libsyn.com/media/skepto..._Recording.mp3 ...Couldn't bear it, I had to switch it off straight away; thats how neurotic I am about it.

My mum died suddenly from a cerebral aneurysm/haemorrhage many years ago at 47 years old (smoked). If detected early, these can be fixed.

Other unpleasant possibilities exist, such as MS, which most usually presents with blurred vision (optic neuritis); fits with dizziness and odd sensory things as well.

Look, it's probably none of these - it could just be high blood pressure / stress - but worth going to see someone - colds in surgeries are daft reasons to delay IMHO
