Yes. Until now, I didn't know it was a syndrome, LOL.

I thought it was because of the brain surgery I had (it started after that).

It isn't always an exploding sound, sometimes it sounds like a rush of air, like the sound of letting a balloon loose. I call those brain farts.

/ to add: The explosions often come with visual disturbances. It's like a fireworks show inside my head. Undecided

Oh well, just you and me then nani. Fireworks and brains farts Grin

For me, it happens just before I nod off at night and feels like someone sneaks up on me and bashes me around the ears with a pair of cymbals, which simultaneously causes a couple of "magnesium white" explosions to occur inside my head. Scary as shit – but no pain – and fortunately it doesn't happen very often.

I had a hunch that there might be a higher incidence of "Exploding Head Syndrome" amongst CH sufferers, especially because I've found another six CH sufferers in the UK with similar symptoms (and from a relatively low overall base).

Anyway, here's a clinical report I found on it if anyone is interested:

Oh well; back to the drawing board.

Brew Ex Member	Re: Anyone ever experienced this? Reply #4 - Jul 11^th, 2008 at 10:31am Nope, not just you two. Me too. Happens once every few months or so. But I'm really glad because of the following (from the Wikipedia article): Quote: Please note that this condition does not actually cause the head to explode.

Reply #5 - Jul 11^th, 2008 at 10:33am I love the last sentence of the first paragraph! " Please note that this syndrome does not actually cause the head to explode." I can't help it. It made me laugh! Sorry you guys experience this though. Hang in there. Jeannie
