Clicking feeling in my skull?

Hey guys! I've never used this place before so hello! Sorry if I haven't posted this in the right place or something I'm not really sure how this works haha! I just really need some help. Anyway (I'm 18)So around October 2019 I was walking and suddenly I could feel this clicking sensation in my skull on the right side above my temple almost as if 2 parts were loose and slightly tapping together when I walked. I had no pain or headaches or anything like that but it was annoying and I was worried but it went away on its own after a few months so I never ended up getting it checked out plus the pandemic hit so couldn't rlly go to doctors for non emergency. Well it went away on its own and I didn't feel it at all for almost a year but this week it's come back and I can feel my skull clicking or tapping slightly when I jump, walk with a bounce or walk down the stairs! In the same place as last time too.  It's always on the right side of my head above my temple/ mandible area. Again I'm in no pain at all and in good general health I've also just recovered from covid (just lost my sense of smell) but I'm doing fine but I get really bad health anxiety and paranoia so I worry what could this clicking in my head be? Its not tinnitus because it's an actual feeling, not a sound in my head. I've been having some jaw problems for a while now and I've been researching TMJ and it could be due to that but whenever I search my symptoms it all comes up with articles about brain tumour tinnitus symptoms but this isn't tinnitus so it's so confusing so I get worried and I figured this would be a good place to ask about it! Sorry if that was confusing haha. There is no lump or anything on my head where this happens and it feels close to the surface like not deep in my head just on the skull bone. I'm hoping to find somebody who has experienced this or knows what it could be! I've found absolutely nothing online that could help me figure out what it is! Thanks for the help!

  • I have the same thing and im dealing with it right now. I think its due to over exertion in the neck muscles. I also feel muscle twitches in my neck to the lower part of my skull. I understand the click feeling, looking it up on google makes it seem more scary than it is. Try taking hot showers as heat can heal injured muscles and also try doing non strenuous tasks.

  • I have had this for nearly a year. Felt like I was having a stroke. Doctor said it was Titus but I've now got neck and back pain. I'm on beta blockers as I've now got major anxiety as my skull feels like it's grinding and clicking. They did say it was chronic sinusitis at first but another doctor ruled it out. Still waiting to see ENT after a year. It's annoying, worrying and just dosnt normal. Hope your all better x

  • I have the same problem for a year now , no clear reason was giving  by any  doctor.  Clicking coming from both sides of my head when walking fast or running for 5 to 10 minutes then it goes away . Sand grinding sound when moving neck . Sometimes little muscle twitching in face . Back and neck pain from time to time . But all feel better when relaxing and exercising .
