Suggest Treatment For Fatigue And Sharp Stabbing Pain In The Head
Hi i just want to point out im pretty young, only 14 and lately ive been getting sharp pains in my head at school, at first i rubbed it off my shoulder because i didnt think much of it but now it seems to get worse, these sharp pains are at the back of my head, at the top near my scalp, and since im double crowned it hurts on both sides, im pretty scared because its actually giving my headaches at the front of my head somtimes and when i brush my hand through my hair my head hurts a little, i somtimes feel fatigue too, ive recently been to the doctor and they couldnt see any problem when they examined my head, no redness, nothing, this is starting to worry me because i think its starting to get worse, but keep in mined the sharp pain im feeling comes evry 5 to 20 minutes and hurts for only a little ammount of time (10secs or so) i was wondering if u could tell me what is wrong so i can have one less worry of my shoulder :)

Hello,
The most common cause of headaches or stabbing pain is stress, anxiety & tensions. Stay away from all these. You can take acetaminophen (Tylenol), one SOS when needed for relieve. Dehydration is another cause that cam present with such symptoms. Stay well hydrated & well fed. At your age body requires a lot of protein, minerals & nutritious food. Avoid junk, oily spicy food. Take food in time.
Medical problems that can present with such symptoms are tension headaches or migraine. Dental problems(cavity). Eye sight issues(lens or undue exposure to sunlight), BP issues(low/ high) or thyroid issues. You are suggested to get clinically assessed by a GP to detect factor that is causing you discomfort. Get treated at the earliest. Avoid alcohol or addictions if any, don't skip meals, avoid packed/ processed food, take adequate sleep.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
