Hello everyone,

Over the last year, I started getting these weird "zap" like sensations in my brain at night. I didn't think much of them until they woke me up out of my sleep one night. I was working in a very high stress, toxic situation so I was under the assumption that it probably had to do with stress (naive of me or not)

Nevertheless, since then, I scheduled an appointment with a neurologist who ordered an MRI on my brain thinking it may have something to do with nerve damage on one side of my head.

The MRI came back with a Pineal Cyst as some of you have mentioned dealing with yourselves. The neurologist referred me to a Neurosurgeon who essentially made me feel like I was crazy. He says none of the symptoms could be from that and he's only suggested to monitor it periodically which I assume is standard practice.

My MRI was just last month, so this is relatively new... I don't seem to have any of the symptoms like migraines or dizziness, however, now I get these very strong ringing sounds in my head at night and they seem to start coming in the day time every now and then too. I've since left my stress-filled job but am I terrified of the daily side effects which again the neurologist and neurosurgeon are adamant it's not from the cyst.

My question is, the "zaps" seem to have died down but has anyone dealt with these newfound "ringing" sensations I get in my head. The best way to describe them is similar to a High Pitched Audio Feed Sound when a microphone or telecom get plugged in... any insight or experience with this would be greatly appreciated.
