Waking up in the middle of the night with a buzzing sound in the head

Waking up at night with a buzzing sensation in the head may be caused by physiological factors, or pathological conditions such as neurasthenia and sensorineural tinnitus. Treatment options include general management and medication. Specific details are as follows:

I. Physiological Factors

If you have recently experienced high mental stress or excessive brain use, you may hear a buzzing sound during sleep. It is important to get adequate rest and avoid overworking the brain.

II. Pathological Factors

1. Neurasthenia

This is usually caused by prolonged tension, stress, or irregular作息 (daily routines), leading to emotional distress and sleep disorders, accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness and cerebral ringing (brain noise). Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as Anshen Bunao Liquid or Flupentixol Melitracen tablets may be used for treatment.

2. Sensorineural Tinnitus

This refers to a subjective perception of abnormal sounds in the head or ears, which may manifest as various noises such as cricket-like chirping, buzzing, or breathing-like sounds. Under medical supervision, medications such as Ginkgo Biloba Extract Drops or Nimodipine tablets may be prescribed for treatment.

In addition to the above causes, buzzing in the head could also result from insufficient cerebral blood supply, cerebral hemorrhage, or cerebral infarction. Pay attention to dietary adjustments and increase intake of fresh fruits and vegetables.
