hi there.

well here is the deal. I have been getting this sharp pains in the right back side of my head,

the pains normally only last 1 -2 seconds at most, and for those two seconds, i lose attention to everything that is going on and even have to close, my eyes, because its a random but light blur.

the pains just started about 4 months ago, once in a while, but have been having them everyday now days.

also to mention these pains happen in complete random times, i can be walking or i can be watching a movie, lying down.


any help would be really good thanks
BTW im only 16

cheers coffee

This type of headaches aren't characteristic for something serious as a brain cancer is.
Headache related to brain cancer has different qualities that the ones you are experiencing.
Headache that lasts 1 to 2 seconds, occurring either as single episodes or as brief repeated volleys, usually in the same spot, and one sided, is known as idiopathic (without known reason) stabbing headache.
The headache, often, resembles a stab from an icepick, nail, or needle.

Do you suffer from other type of headache, like migraine?
