Head sensations, Crackling noise, Pain in head

I have a similar complaint and GP's just brush it off. I get a loud cracking sound, not bones etc, I can be sitting very still and get a loud crack, get dizzy fall off to one side and then feel nauseous for a short while. When i get these episodes I have a pain & pressure in the top of my head,get brain fog and my eyesight gets unfocused. I have had some kind of vertigo recently after being on a cruise for 7 days. Nothing bothered me until I got off the ship 4 weeks go and now still have motion sickness. Have tried the Epley Manouvre but nothing has changed. It really annoys me that GP's cant be bothered to address the situation. My question is - what type of specialist should is see in order to try and solve this. I feel that this will lead to diminished capacity if not diagnosed. I am 70 so I feel that I dont have a lot of time to fix this. I am fit and healthy otherewise, no high blood pressure

Could be a vestibular migraine they can cause vertigo… although my daughters does not come w the crack noise. Beyond a regular ENT she also saw a doc called an Otologist. Could see a neurologist or migraine specialist. I’m so sorry this is happening to you, it is awful to have vertigo and motion sickness. Since yours came on suddenly, that has to be a clue for the doc… virus related? If related to the crystals in the ear, an ENT can tell that by looking at your eye movement while laying down and turning your head. Do not ignore, make several appointments right away to try to get some answers (and find a new GP 😉) God bless you and prayers for speedy recovery.
An ENT maybe can help with the vertigo
A possibility is Minier’s disease.
I have been going through this for five months. I have been to the ENT three times and still can’t find any answers. My primary doctor has know idea but to prescribe pain medication. I have an appointment to a neurologist but it’s so far out. It is so frustrating because I feel like you just can’t get any help. I did started with physical therapy but I don’t see any improvement. If you get any answers, I love to know.
Thanks Jerry

They can't be bothered to address it because they don't know what it is. So instead of telling you that or sending you to a neurologist, they ignore you! Typical crap medicine.
