Does The Bones In Skull Become Soft And Crackle?
When I lie down I can feel my head crackling, I feel like the bones are adjusting to the pressure. I don t know if it is a natural thing for the plates of the skull to move, but it is causing me distress. I cannot sleep because I fear my skull might break and open up. My aunt had brain hemorrhage and she started feeling her skull crackling after the operation. I m even thinking that it might be a psychosis that I developed after seeing my aunt suffering. Is it also possible for the bones of the skull to soften? During the day I feel pressure in my skull as well, it comes and goes in different areas. I am 33 years old and don t have any medical problems. Just depression and a slight tinnitus.

hi,
as you mentioned your history thank for it.
since you mentioned about depression this could be the major cause where you are feeling that there is a movement in a cranium. As you are 33 years old the development of the cranium is stopped and also this is totally an abnormal feeling due to depression .
performing regular meditation and breathing exercises will help you come out of this situation.
also if you want to clear the doubts about hemorrhage in brain then an MRI will clear out the doubt.
with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery
