What To Do For The Painless Cracking Sound From Head?
I have a loud cracking sound in back of my head several times a day, not with any pain. I have had a dull headache for about a week solid with a nauseous feeling. I had a severe headache, which I should have gone to the ER for, but I was in too much pain to get out of bed. I don t usually get headaches, as a rule. I don t feel right everyday now for the last 10 days

Hello,
Since you had an unusual headache and nausea, you should get evaluated further.
A subarachnoidal hemorrhage, for example, may cause symptoms similar to yours.
So, medical examination and imaging of the brain (CT scan, MRI) are necessary in your case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
