Hi I ve started to get quite frightening stabbing pains that come out of nowhere in the same spot in my head and I don t understand what this could be? Any ideas? I could be doing anything even resting and they come on just above my ear on the right hand side.
Dear I am sorry for the symptoms you are suffering I read your query and understand your concern It seems you are suffering from a primary headache (hemicrania) Those have no specific cause Factors which can provoke them are some such as caffein abuse, abusing with picant food or missing meals and sleep abuse I don't think you have reason to worry too much, it is fully treatable You can use pain killers to avoid pain and schedule a meeting with your neurologist If pain became daily or twice a week better start daily treatment (such as amitryptiline or propanolol) Discuss with your doctor about my opinion Hope my answer will help you Stay healthy Best regards Dr Eris Ranxha Neurologist
