What Causes Pain In Head With Popping Sound?

Posted on Mon, 8 Dec 2014

Question: Hi, yes please! My husband was working out this afternoon and while lifting he got a sharp pain on the side of his head and a popping sound. The pain went away after a few minutes. It looks like a small vein is raised slightly. He is 62 in good health

Ice fomentation along with ibuprofen will help

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. This could be the non serious muscle fiber rupture which heals of it own with time.
My suggestion is -ice fomentation along with ibuprofen and trypsin/chymotrypsin to reduce pain and swelling.
Hope this suffices.
Take care
