A member asked:
When i lay down to sleep. i sometimes feel-hear this fluid type sensation in back neck area. it lasts about 1-2 seconds. is this common, or what is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neck sensation: It is unlikely that the sensation is from a fluid source. Upon lying down you may be feeling transient motion of neck muscles or ligaments or even motion involving the ear structures. It doesn't appear to be a serious situation because it is so fleeting and evidently there are no other neck or ear symptoms day or night.
