Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / March 2006bullet shots in ear
Hullo everyone, I am from Mumbai,India. My mom has a very unique problem.She is 68 years of age .She is experiencing a unique problem of some sort of "bullet shots" inside her ear region.This is noted only when she is going of to sleep.It hapeens during her initial phase of her sleep say within 5 minutes of her sleep. We consulted various doctors but no satisfactory reply, in fact they say these are all old age related problems. Can any one please advise what to do in such circumstances.What is this problem like?This problem she is facing for last one year and she is even scared of going to sleep.One more thing is that this problem is hardly noticed during day time during household work or even afternoon sleep.During child her one ear got perforated. I will be very grateful if some one can throw some light on it.Reccomending some exercise or massage will be highly appreciated. thanks. Major J S Shekhawat. I am no doctor but i think the cause is due to blood circulation in the head. Does she use a thick pillow? Try to use a wrapped towel to support her neck when she sheelp and see if it improves. I would recommend her to take gingko biloba to help improve blood circulation in the head too. eazyboy123@rediffmail.com wrote in part: >Hullo everyone, >I am from Mumbai,India.

It involves a loud bang and sometimes a flash of light about the time you would fall asleep. No one knows why it happens, but based on tracking people who have the symptom, researchers concluded that it was not related to any serious disorder and did not tend to worsen in any way. It seems harmless.  SignatureJim Chinnis / Warrenton, Virginia, USA Want to discuss Meniere's?

It seems harmless. I get them. They're scary as feck. Sometimes it comes with a fizzle, like an electric malfunction. http://www.dailyping.com/archive/2002/01/05/ for a thread that started in 2002 and is still alive and well today. And a Google cached article no longer available here: http://snipurl.com/n2zi which gave me a relief when I read it. > eazyboy123@rediffmail.com wrote in part: > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > symptom, researchers concluded that it was not related to any serious > disorder and did not tend to worsen in any way. It seems harmless. Could this perhaps be related to the 'myoclonic jerk', quite common when we fall asleep, but with the activity spreading to another part of the brain ? Steve www.detinnitiser.com I've had sort of floodlight or camera flashes behind my eyelids sometimes. This might be related, just without the sound. > eazyboy123@rediffmail.com wrote in part: > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > symptom, researchers concluded that it was not related to any serious > disorder and did not tend to worsen in any way. It seems harmless. Hey!, you made me remember something that happened when i was like 6 years old i remember i saw with my father in the night the movie "insects" that seemed to me very scary to those years and i went to sleep, i remember i woke up in the middle of the night with the sound of bullets being shot and i was shocked, i can remember that my grandmother was next to me trying to calm me down but i also remember that i was screaming every time i heard the sound of the bullets, the most scary thing i always felt in my life , as far i can see till now it happened due to the shock that the movie caused to me. thanks god it never happened again, but Tinnitus is with me since almost two years but i can live with it much better with it than in the begining whit the hope of finding a solution in the near future.
