Brief Answer:
need observation...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Sense of vibration within the head is sometimes found as associated symptoms of migraine. However since you did not report any other issues with this 'vibration' complaint, I will not tag this as part of migraine.

Further sometimes this type of vibration may indicate tinnitus which is associated with ear pathology.

As a whole I would not be very concerned now. I would choose to observe the symptom for the next few days to a week while you continue taking sibelium as instructed. If it persists, I will recommend further check up and evaluation. ENT tests along with blood investigations may be needed along with brain scan.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
