Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am having pain that feels like someone is squeezing the inside of my head. It hits mainly in the back of my head and goes to the top. It is sudden, leaves in about 30 seconds and happens about once a day. I would like to know if this is or could be serious.
