Sharp Pain In Left Temple, Dizziness, Followed By Dull Pressure. Causes For Pain?
I just experienced a sharp pulsateing pain in my left temple. It only lasted about a minute or two and now i feel dizzy and i have a dull pressure on my left temple like someone is lightly touching it. I have no bad headaches nor do i feel nauseous or anything. Im kinda freaked out because ive known people that have had brain anerysms and im afraid of getting one.

Hello,
the transient symptoms that you had may be seen in normal individuals with no serious underlying problems. As you have mentioned that you do not have nausea, vomiting or headache, so that further reassures. However you can get evaluated by a doctor to relieve your anxiety. It is not likely to be due to aneurysms in the brain. The pain of bleeding aneurysm is very severe and is associated with many more things like loss of consciousness etc.
Good luck.
