I have these shots of electrical feelings that go through my head sometimes and also my tempals on the side of my head sometimes feels as if it is bubbling I had never got this before I had my first episode and was wondering if anyone else had this happen to them, this bubbling sensation comes after I have this thought shoot through my head real quick. Just wondering hope I am not just looking for everything that happens to me to be because of the Bipolar I know sometimes things are just physical in nature. Thanks.

I know this post was made long ago. But thank you for letting me know I am not alone in this world with the zap feelings/sounds in my head.
They only happen when I lie down.When I close my eyes I will hear/feel "zaps" inmy head. I asked my MD about this, and he said NOONE should experiance this and he suggested I seek a "shrink".
I thought I was going off the deep end. I saw another MD years ago, and after talking to her for 15 minutes and filling out a short questionaire my condition she deemed was depression
. She then prescribe Effexor (75mg) to be taken once daily.
That diagnosis was 4 years ago, for the first year I took it off and on. As my symptons (anxiety,fear,insomnia,mild manics) continued I started taking the meds as prescribed.
They seem to help quite a bit....but, if I miss so much as one dose the "zaps" return with a vengence. Also I have heard the sympton explained as vertigo, but when I don't take my med, if I move my head from side to side, or look down to the left or right, I get a feeling that's hard to explain...not sure if that's Vertigo or not.
I do know I am not exactly sure what my condition is..I sometimes will go out of my way to avoid people, both at work and socially...I sometimes feel I have so much energy I could bust, but at other times I feel very tired.
Anyway, it's a great forum, and I want to thank you for affirming that the "zaps" I hear/feel are not my imageination
