Before surgery and going through Pseudotumor Cerebri, would you ever hear fizzing or air bubbles traveling through your spine and brain?

I've been hearing fizzing or small air bubbles shooting up from what I can only guess is my spine to into my brain ever since I could remember. It usually only lasts for a second or so, sometimes longer. I've always wondered why I'm hearing this and no one can really tell me or hear them because it only lasts for about a second

Thanks for replying, I hear ringing in my ears quite frequently but I just thought it goes along with getting older (I am 29). Also pretty recently I am starting to notice my left eye lid is twitching a lot on its own for no reason and just the other day my left as a whole felt like it was bulging as a whole which was pretty weird and new. I'm not tired and not doing anything different so I'm really clueless as to why this is happened. Does any of this sound familiar in your experience?

Can you elaborate "pounding in time with my heartbeat" part? Does that have to do with the ringing?

It's really cool to hear about the shunt, seems like such a simple solution done in a very cool way with modern technology, I hope to hear you have great results because of it

Even though I don't know you, I'm glad to hear you're actively producing solutions to your problem. I haven't been as brave and have been avoiding the doctor myself for a while, but maybe now I'll finally go talk to one.

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this and answering questions, I look forward to hear you're doing great and hopefully when this is over you can manage to get some rest

That's a lot to consider, did the people you were talking to mention these were probably small to very small risks?

Or rather I mean the likelihood of these risks happening were low?

What are the risks if you don't mind me asking

I've always wanted a shunt, but usually for bad gas, sorry if that's over sharing
