Posted on Thu, 7 Sep 2017
Question: OK
About two times a month, just out of the blue, I can feel intense pain inside my head. The right side, upper right side. Like I can feel the "vein" or "vessel." At first like a "brain freeze" but the pain level, (1-10) can range from 5-10. It's sporadic. I have yet to consult my pmd.
