Turned head quickly, felt a pop/pull pain in my brain! Freaking out

[Katie628839]

Anyone had this?? I just turned my head quickly and I felt like a pop/pull/burst in my brain! Is this normal?

Katie, you are okay. Nothing burst in your brain. The quick move caused the sound

to come from the discs in your neck. You need to breathe and stop the fear from

escalating. You are safe, nothing is going to happen. xx

Thanks for replying... it wasn’t a sound tho, it was just a feeling of like a pull/ pop.

[Agora1 in reply to Katie628839]

I have a lot of disc problems in which I need to be careful

about turning my head too fast or looking up or down for long.

What you might have felt is a tight muscle or ligament that you

stretched when you turned so fast. Unless you have other

symptoms it's best to let it go. xx Are you in pain ??

[Katie628839 in reply to Agora1]

No other pain, so I guess it is just one of those things... as a health anxiety sufferer it’s just impossible to rationalise it

[Agora1 in reply to Katie628839]

I know how hard it can be Katie. It's just one of those things

that happen from time to time. Most of it stems from us being

so tense and rigid from our anxiety. It's gone now and you are

okay. xx

Thanks for the support! Really working to get rid of this anxiety and knowing there are others out there too helps
