He got up and it happened again a couple more times. now he is sitting and seems to be fine. we asked him questions and he can answer.
Brief Answer:
Muscle pull secondary to stress/ strain
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. The sharp pain could be due to a pulled muscle around the eye or right scalp.
2. Disturbed sleep or stress or maybe at present watching tv intensely could be the cause for flutter in the muscle along with sharp pain.
3. Cannot think of any vascular or neural cause, as it is for the first time and also it is not persistent.
4. Relaxation and good sleep is essential. Not suspecting any stroke or transient ischemic attack, as there is no weakness or loss of any function.
Continue with good sleep, relaxation, good hydration and protein rich nutritious diet. Add a few nuts, sweet potato and banana in the diet for better nutrition.
Hope it helps.
