Hi, I have posted things in many
categories here. I worry a lot about my
health. Anyhow, I sometimes get a sharp
shooting pain in my head usually in the
back or only on one side that lasts for
about 5 seconds and gos. It is so intense
though. Anyone know what I am talking
about?

I have had these sort of pains for years,
usually when very stresse, but sometimes
oddly when the stressful situation has
gone or been reduced; it's like I have
been holding myself so tight due to the
situation that when I release all that
tension. Well something has to give &
I get similar pains to what you describe.
My impression is that you're a single mum
with prehaps not alot of immediate support
& frankly I have no idea how single
mums cope, the stress & responsibility
of being a parent is enormous &
naturally increases our worry about our
own health.
One other thing though>>>> is
there anything knew (plant, powder,
perfume, soap, anything) at home or
elsewhere thatyou might be allergic to,
because allergies can cause many &
varied symptoms, they're also a real pain
because as they can be airborn they can be
hard to locate much less do anything
about.

I wouldnt worry about
it I get them sometimes to, plus I know
other people who get them it could be
anxiety. But if it gets worse then go see
a doctor.

I was brought to this site from a search
engine and I am kind of relieved that this
sharp pain could be related to anxiety.
I tend to think the worst about things
like this. I have been getting them for
a couple weeks now and like you all have
said they are really quick and change
location. Does anyone know if this is a
medical fact that it can be caused by
stress? I am definitely stressed lately
so it does make sense. My family is
living with my mother while our house is
built, husband just had surgery etc.
Etc...
Thanks in advance for any info or site
links regarding this.

Well, I know that stress can turn your
body and flip your mind competely around.
The sharp pains you get can be caused by
that. I have the same sharp pains, not as
much anymore but lately it hasnt been to
great. I've had these pains last 15-20
seconds rather then 5. As i'm posting
this its because I woke up out of bed and
was in total fear because I had a wierd
pressure pain that made me dizzy and faint
for about 15-20 seconds. My #1 thing to
tell you is to see a neurologist. He will
tell if you if its a very bad issue or
simply stress/anxiety/tension. Its good
to talk to them they reinforce the fact
you aren't terminally ill.

Wow! I Have the Same Thing!!! Posted: 02-10-04 22:18pm
Hi, I totally understand what your
feeling. I typically get them on one
side, usually out of the clear blue when I
turn my head. It knocked me on my butt
one time, the pain was intense, but only
lasting for a couple seconds.. Does
anyone feel a numb sensation afterwards?
It sometimes feels like i'm temperally
paralyzed on the side of my head, my mouth
and every thing goes numb. I can't turn
my head for atleast a minute after it
happens, I have to turn my whole body, or
it will happen again. It's really
strange, and it goes away as quickly as it
comes on. I never asked the doctor about
it, I figured they would think I was
nuts.. I never knew other people had this
happen. Well if anyone knows what causes
this, please share your info. Cause i'm
clueless, iv'e had this happen for years,
and it doesn't seem to happen to often, so
I never thought of disgussing it. Does
it feel like a shock wave in your head?
Like shooting from the back to the front?
Almost like a nerve is shorting out? If
so, I have the exact same thing..

Hi, I posted the last message, and mine
doesn't seem to be stress related, I have
not been under any stress when this
happens. So I don't think that is always
true.

It is really helpful to see that so many
people are alike all over. I do think I
notice I get it with stress. I have
severe anxiety. I think everyone's body
handles stress differently.

I get similar pains. They are really
intense and normally on one side of my
head, at the front or back, and swaps
around each headache, though most are on
the front left side. I have been getting
them for about 6 months. I don't think
mine are related to strees or anxiety as
i'm still getting them lots and i'm on
holiday and have been for 2 months (being
a university student is great) and i'm a
pretty relaxed person in general. The
pain is terrible (i'd rate it between 7
and 9 on a 1-10 scale). I saw a
neurologist and they think it could be
migraines and I am now trying migraine
medication though I haven't been on it
long enough to see if it is working.

Well, I know from doing research that have
bi-lateral headache pains/pressure is from
tension/muscle/back issues.
Migraines generally are just instense
pain.

Just a Thought Posted: 09-18-07 19:13pm
I've suffered from migraine for many
years.For those who have migraine
attacks,there are alot of
triggers.Stress,sunlight,foods.This may or
may not be the case with the post or
replies.
I suggest talk to a doctor if you
continue to have problems.Symptoms can
come and go.There are headache
clinics,there are migraine specialist.Look
up migraine and check the information.
By the way,migraines are not just
intense pain.Migraine is a disease.A
neurological disease and needs to be
respected as such.Not that I'm saying this
is the case,but migraine itself is a real
disease.
But if you continue to have problems,see
a doctor.

Mine's Different Posted: 10-07-07 23:53pm
Mine is strange. For the past few weeks I
have been experiencing a type of "electric
shock" through my brain (right side) and
it lasts for about 10 seconds then goes
away. When this happens it's so painfull
that I can feel asif I go stiff all over
for a while. Don't know why. Don't know
what triggers it either. Any ideas?

Don't Ignore Your Symptoms. Posted: 10-08-07 12:55pm
First,symptoms that continue,you should
see a doctor.Just out of curious,do you
take over the counter med for
headaches.Did you know you can get rebound
headaches.
Rebound,you are actually getting
headaches from the medicine.But when you
are having continued problems,seek help.A
GP may want to try abortive med or tests
or refer you to a specialist.

Pain inthe back of the head, it is a sign of Occipital Neuralgia Posted: 01-31-08 10:20am
This will help you to understand what the
signs are. When it induces, just rest and
heat source applied will be helpful as
well.
I had this pain and what I typicall do is
take a hot bubble bath, apply a heat pad
where the pain is, drink something
soothing.
