[edit] Oops !

FYI, I fixed a typo that said that EHS _does_ make your head explode when, in fact, it doesn't. :) Xenon 21:19, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestions?

I may have experienced something similar. Occasionally, I would feel (in my right ear) something like holding a leaf blower up to the side of my head. I'd cover my ear with my hand, but it won't help much. Is this something close, or a different anomaly? p.s. I'm a 14 year-old caucasian male. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.189.81.2 (talk • contribs).

My suggestion would be to check with a doctor. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a medical forum. See our medical disclaimer: Wikipedia:Medical disclaimer. In fact, Wikipedia isn't any kind of forum; talk pages like this one are supposed to be focused solely on how to go about improving the article they're associated with, not on the subject of the article in general.

[edit] Is this a joke?

No it isn't. See the external links

[edit] Real Phenomenon

"... exploding head syndrome is a real phenomenon and not caused by psychological disturbances." -- I don't understand; does this mean EHS has physical causes as opposed to psychological (or even psychosematic) causes? This is not backed up by the text. Do we have a citation? --Jquarry 23:02, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I have had this

I have had this happen several times. Just before drifting off to sleep it sounds like a shotgun going off and light flashing inside my head and one awakes scared to death with heart racing. It has only happened a couple of times. The first time it happened I thought someone had fired a gun off by my head, but my wife was sleeping peacefully and didn't hear a thing. It scared me thinking maybe I had had a blood vessel or something burst in my head. Glad to know it is nothing serious! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bronqito (talk • contribs) 11 November 2006.

Be sure to read Wikipedia:Medical disclaimer - if you had some sort of medical concern you should really check with a doctor about it and not put it off because of something you read here, there's no guarantees about the accuracy of any of it. And also bear in mind that these talk pages aren't intended to be general chat forums like this, they should be used to discuss the editing of the associated article rather than the topic as a whole.

[edit] Do I have exploding head syndrome?

Ever since I was little, whenever its completely quiet, sometimes I hear this loud tone in my head. It's not nessicarily before going to sleep, but its really loud. I never even noticed this was strange until someone told me about this syndrome... please help :) Thank you

Wikipedia doesn't give medical advice, please see Wikipedia:Medical disclaimer. If you have a medical question you should probably ask a doctor. Bryan 00:39, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
