What Causes Sudden, Sharp Pain The Back Of My Head?
Hello. I had this sudden, sharp pain the back of my head last night. I would kind of describe the pain as popping a blood vessel, but WAY worse. It was incredibly painful. I have a history of aneurysms in my family and I m wondering if I should be worried and what I might be experiencing.

Hi,
The question is that is the pain still present. If so, keeping in mind your bad history, you must undergo MRI brain at the earliest. I hope your blood pressure is normal. If pain is not present, also undergo cervical spine X-ray ap and lateral view.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi, General & Family Physician
