I read on other forums that it’s some kind of tinnitis and could be TMJ related. I’ve never even thought to ask my doctor or dentist about it. I have a lot of tension headaches and tingling in my hands. No idea how many years I’ve heard that sound, but the nerve trouble has been 10 years.
I'm 21 years old and I have essentially the same symptoms as all of you are describing, (fizzing, headache) but in addition to that, my base of skull area feels so sensitive that almost any large movement I make (ex. lifting my arm 90 degrees) can be felt in the base of my skull with an uncomfortable rubbing sensation. It's not so painful but it happens so frequently that it's driving me insane. I compare it to chinese water torture but inside my head. Doctors have been no help. The only thing I can do to relieve these symptoms slightly is to put an ice pack on the back of my head or neck. Well, drinking a lot relives it but then it always comes back worse. It's comforting to know lots of other people feel the same as I do but equally as depressing seeing that none of you seemed to have found a cure. I for one cannot keep living like this and am desperate to get better before this thing makes me blow my brains out.

I thought I was the only one I may be crazy, it's been going on for about a year off and on I have a blockage in my brain something to do with the Carotid artery I just have to take 81 mg of aspirin a day. But I have no idea what this is and my stomach feels like I want to barf I used to have migraines but I had a stroke May 2016 and I haven't had migraines since.
I get the fizzing at the base of my skull every morning while still lying in bed. I want to know what it is. I don't get migraines or any of the other symptoms mentioned here and I'm not on any medications
I too get the pop rocks feeling. What is this. Anyone figure it out. I have chiari malformation and had surgery on my skull and spine. Have any of you had this as well. The pop rocks sound/feeling happen over a dozen times a day.
