What Causes Sudden Sharp Pain In Head And Dizziness?
I just had a sudden sharp pain in a very small area on the top of my skull for about 5 seconds and was very dizzy. It went away as quickly as it came and I have had no other symptom for last 10 minutes. What could have caused such? and, should I be concerned? Dee

Hello,
It may be due to occipital neuralgia. For further assessment you may require MRI neck, nerve conduction studies after neurologist consultation. For pain you can take tablet Acetaminophen. You may require tablet Pregabalin and multivitamin tablets after physician consultation.
Do regular physical therapy. Do regular blood pressure monitoring.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
