Hello! Thank you for asking on HCM! I understand your concern. Her symptoms seem to be related to migraine or tension type headache. Has she had other symptoms like nausea or vomiting? How long does this feeling last? I would like to explain that the brain itself doesn t hurt. The pain, numbness and headache that we feel, derive from the soft tissues, the vessels, the bones and nerves in this region. So we can not localize precisely where the pain comes from. I recommend you to consult her with the neurologist for a careful examination for neurological signs. A routine blood test and inflammation tests may be necessary to exclude other causes. Hope to have been helpful! Greetings! Dr. Iliri
