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.
Hello, I just had a strange pain in my head. It began as a sharp pain at the base of my skull and migrated quickly around my entire head causing me to feel a little unbalanced, to the point where I said Whoa out loud. This entire experience lasted only about two seconds. But the same thing happened to me yesterday when I was out walking. I have pretty constant tension in my neck and have for years, so maybe it s due to that. I m just a little worried because I ve never really experienced anything like this before.

What Causes Sharp Pain At The Base Of The Skull?
Hello, As per your history, it may be due to occipital neuralgia. For further assessment, you may require MRI neck and nerve conduction studies after consultation. For pain, you can take tablet acetaminophen. You may require tablet Pregabalin and tablet multivitamin after consultation. Do regular physical therapy. Take proper rest. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
