When you find out, let me know please... I have been experiencing the same sensation. Except the electric jolt goes through my right side of my head and I feel like I'm going stiff from the pain. It only lasts for about 10 seconds then it goes away. I have no idea what brings it on or why. It's been happening for the past few weeks now.

I've been getting pain in the right-side of my head frequent recently. kind of a sharp electrical pain that starts somewhere behind my temple and shoots back. Before this all starts I get a gradual throbbing pain that increases to a pressuring point and then I feel the sharp shooting. I generally can feel it start and tell how long it's going to last. it used to start and last only minutes- now it's hours. any suggestions?

Hi All,
I have experienced electric pain in my right wrist and just learned that high uric acid levels in the blood could cause electrical pains. Apparently, a simple blood test can detect this.
I hope this is helpful.
Respectfully, Gaiyah

Ok, so I'm feeling very frustrated and desperately need help! I get these headaches that I can only describe as "electrical jolts" in my ears and the back of my head that last for way longer too long. Each time its always in a different location. It was so bad January of this year, that I ended up in the ER. My doctor told me that it's perhaps frayed nerves and that I should take Vitamin B supplements. It was too incresible. Last weekend, I had another episode which lasted from Friday night and the whole of Saturday. And Nope the Percocet did not work!!!! Does anyone can similar symptoms.

Are you withdrawing from Cymbalta or Pristique (sp?)

So this has happened to me once in my 5 months of headache/muscle tension/migrane pain. i went to a neurologist and he said that it has something to do with the nerves of your neck. i was having pain in my neck so i rubbed it to get releif when all of a sudden a shooting pain went up into my head. He said i could go get a shot to relax the muscles and nerves of my neck . it might work for you. i havent done it yet, but it seems like a good idea.

I have the same problem, no pain, but every few minutes, I feel like these electical jolts running through my head to my tongue. It's almost like the sensation when you hit your funy bone, and it goes all the up through you & you feel it in your tongue? Not as strong, but really really often, like every 5 minutes I get 1 or sometimes 2-3 in a row lasting a second or less. REALLY annoying.
And same thing, I've had mri's & ct-scans that show nothing.

I have what I can only describe as electrical jolts in my head. They used to happen every so often, maybe once or twice a day, but now it's up to every 5 minutes or so, sometimes just one, but lately, I've been getting 2 to 3 in a row, each lasting just a second or less. There is no pain with it, but really annoying, and can't concentrate anymore.

Sometimes it feels like it's going through my whole upper body. Kind of like when you hit your funny bone, and it goes all the way up through your body & head & you can feel it in your tongue.
There is no external movement or shake or anything, it seems to be just completely internal. Like an inside-out tick.
HELP!!
