Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to the head concussion.
Anyway, if the clicking noise and headache persists, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing a brain MRI or MRA, to exclude a possible vascular lesion.
If you have symptoms like nausea or confusion, I recommend going to the ER for a brain CT scan, to exclude possible delayed subdural hemorrhage.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Iliri
