Skull Area Near Neck Feels Loose, Hollow Click. What Could This Be?
Hi I tapped the back of my neck where it meets the skull right behind my right ear with a open firm hand kiinda like a karate chop but much easier and I hear what sounds like something loose/rattles kinda like a hollow click noise everytime my hand taps it....it doesn't do it on left side of neck/head when I tap that side. What could this be?

you are pointig to mastoid area,where there are air cells and the tapping may give hollow click noise,may be normal,provided you are asymptomatic.Some times,assymmetrical even in normal persons.
