Question: Sharp head pains-- need help finding out what's wrong?

(Posted by: Mandy G on 2008-11-19 15:24:10)

Last year I would get head pains for like 5- 10 seconds often on my forehead above my eyebrows. And then they stopped coming so frequently. Then this year I started getting them again more frequently in the same places on both sides of my face above my eyebrow. And yesterday in the morning I got really bad sharp pains where my temples are, on the sides of my face near my ears. And it only stayed for a a couple seconds and went away. And then it came again 5 minutes later but the sharp pain was on the left side of my head like inside I guess lol And then it went away and I was fine. And then during my second period class I got the pains again but they were worse. It hurt so much that it made me jump in my seat and grab my head and say "ow " outloud and made me make facial expressions. (the pain expressions lol) And everything was asking me if I was okay. It only stayed for 5- 10 seconds then went away. And I continued to get them every 5- 10 minutes for an hour. And it was the same thing. The pain made me jump, grab my head and say ow. And it only stayed for 5- 10 seconds. And then the pains started to die down and I only got them like 1 every 30 minutes, and then I got them every hour and then I took some T3 and it seemed to be okay. But I still got the forehead pains. I don't think these are headaches/ migraines. I never get them. And the same day I felt like someone was squeezing my head. There was alot of pressure. Thats what it felt like. Then that night I went to bed and woke up an hour later. I found it stange because I never wake up an hour later after falling asleep. And my head felt so bad there was more pressure and I couldn't sleep for an hour. Today I haven't gotten any sharp pains but I still have pressure and I frequently get pains in my forehead area. I don't think these are headaches. I have a feeling something else is wrong with me. Someone help? I'm planning on going to the doctors on Saturday. But I just want an idea of what it might be. Thanks

I have these too! For some reason i also tend to grab a hold of my head, which when you walk with crutches isn't a good thing to do lol! I get them all over my head at any time. Do you have any neck problems you know of? My doctor seems to think i get them because C2, C3 and C4 are fused and i have scoliosis. There were several things i found on the internet about them, let me go find them again for you. Okay this is one thing i found: headacheexpert.co.uk/ IcePickSuddenAndIntenseHeadaches.html This is the other emedicinehealth.com/ trigeminal_neuralgia_facial_nerve_pain/ article_em.htm And this is something else too: uk.answers.yahoo.com/ question/ index?qid= 20061129085222AA1udOm I hope your head pains go soon, they suck!
