Liquid Squeezing Sound At The Back Of Head When Hungry. What Could It Be?

Hi, I get this strange sound/sensation in the back of my head - ususally when im really hungry. Its almost like a fizzing, sizzling sound - or like the sound of rainsticks (if youve heard them). its high pitched and doesnt last long. Ill often have them when i wake up in the morning and im hungry. It doesnt sound like bones cracking or popping or anything - sounds more like a liquid squeezing through a small hole or something, right at the base of my skull, or back of my throat. Any idea what it could be?

Hi thanks for using HCM.

If there is no other symptom other than sound it may be due to hypoglycemia or problem in inner ear or due to some vascular problem. I suggest you to consult an ENT specialst to get examined and get done fasting blood glucose level and lipid profile. These are some basic tests for your symptom. Later proceed as advised by your doctor if other investigation required. Take care
