Getting Sharp Pain In Head For Few Seconds. How To Diagnose My Symptoms?
Question: Healthy 19 yo. I was bent over changing my son & got a sharp shooting pain in head. Tender to touch. It lasted a few seconds and no other symptoms. What could it be?
Hello
As such the causes of headache are many like migraine, cluster headache, brain tumor/infection, problem in blood vessel of the brain, etc. However sharp pain lasting for few seconds without any associated symptoms does not suggest any serious organic medical problem. A remote possibility of this being cluster headache is likely.
I would urge you to visit a neurologist for examination if such headaches recur.
Avoid stress and relax...
Hope this answers your query. Let me know if you need further assistance.
