When someone has Exploding head syndrome they can experience loud noises that range from hearing explosions, waves, roars, screams, loud voices and even a noise that is ringing. Often times this happens a couple of hours before bedtime and usually is not painful.

One of the big causes of Exploding head syndrome is fatigue and stress. The attacks can reoccur or just be something that happens once and never happen again. Sometimes it can cause such fear or panic that the person starts to fear going to sleep. Patients can also see flashes of light right after a person has had an attack.

Therapy methods, herbal supplements and Clomipramine are the most common treatments for ones that suffer with Exploding head syndrome. Patients who do not get treated often experience it a few times and sometimes the condition might get really bad if the person is not seen by a doctor for treatment.
