Sharp head pain on right side lasts only few seconds-what is it?
I can be a type of Neuralgia in the head. Mine started as you explained above, I have trigeminal neuralgia. Have it chedked out with a neurologist or a least your primary care doctor. Even go to ER if you have no doctor. Email me if you want. Here is a definition: Imagine having a jab of lightning-like pain shoot through your face when you brush your teeth or put on makeup. Sound excruciating? If you have trigeminal neuralgia, attacks of such pain are frequent and can often seem unbearable. You may initially experience short, mild attacks, but trigeminal neuralgia can progress, causing longer, more frequent bouts of searing pain. These painful attacks can be spontaneous, but they may also be provoked by even mild stimulation of your face, including brushing your teeth, shaving or putting on makeup. The pain of trigeminal neuralgia may occur in a fairly small area of your face, or it may spread rapidly over a wider area. Because of the variety of treatment options available, having trigeminal neuralgia doesn't necessarily mean you're doomed to a life of pain. Doctors usually can effectively manage trigeminal neuralgia, either with medications or surgery. An attack of trigeminal neuralgia can last from a few seconds to about a minute. Some people have mild, occasional twinges of pain, while other people have frequent, severe, electric-shock-like pain. The condition tends to come and go. You may experience attacks of pain off and on all day, or even for days or weeks at a time. Then, you may experience no pain for a prolonged period of time. Remission is less common the longer you have trigeminal neuralgia. People who have experienced severe trigeminal neuralgia have described the pain as: Lightning-like or electric-shock-like Shooting Jabbing Like having live wires in your face Trigeminal neuralgia usually affects just one side of your face. The pain may affect just a portion of one side of your face or spread in a wider pattern. Rarely, trigeminal neuralgia can affect both sides of your face, but not at the same time.
I have experienced the same thing when run down/sick. It usually comes along with being ill(not just on it's own), for me at least. The pain you get when moving your eyes up/down or left/right is a result of having that certain type of headache. This site can help you distinguish what sort it is, Oww… My Head Hurts – Determining Your Headache Type. As for the treatment it depends on the type of headache, once you have an idea of what it is, just give it some research. “One person may need additional nutritional support, another person may need relaxation exercises and regular massage therapy, another may respond best to botanical medicine.”(Oww… My Head Hurts – Determining Your Headache Type)In your case it could either be a type of cluster headache, or a type of migraine. But don't take my word for it.
Dudes rush to a hospital immediately and dnt panic they will diagnose u with imaging techniques like ct and x ray and then decide ur disease and treat accordingly.
It's common.Regardless (almost) of what technique you practice, the enlightenments of the neck, head and back are important, so you are right to ask.First, don't worry. i mean it. Don't add stress and worry to the simple and small issue, because it is a simple and small issue...Secondly, simply observe the head position a few times during the meditation session and realign it, mindfully, patiently. You may slowly move the head from time to time on purpose from side to side or in a small circle to relief excessive tension if needed (don't overdo it). In time, you'll see you need to do it less and less until the issue disappear.That's all, my friend.
Why do I get headaches after moving my head too fast?
There's a part in your inner ear that senses motion. For example: whether your body is standing up or lying down. If your head shakes really fast or you spin around, that part in you ear sends the wrong signals to your body causing headaches or dizzyness. If you wanna get technical, it's called the vestibular system. You may have heard of it in relation to 'motion sickness'. Anyhow, don't want to ramble on so.. there's a lot more information out there on that.. Hope this helped.
Does Your Head Hurt When You Move It Fast?
Supposedly, (or what I can remember from elementary school science) there is some kind of fluid around your brain that keeps you balanced. When you move faster than it can move, you feel a sense of dizziness. Kinda like how when you put your head upside down for a while, and you flip it back up, your head hurts or feels dizzy. The fluid hasn't gone back to its normal location yet. Or I could be totally talking out of my ***.
When ever I jump or shake my head my tooth hurts????
This Site Might Help You. RE: When ever I jump or shake my head my tooth hurts???? It's weird.... I noticed it one day while jumproping, and then again while brushing my hair. It's not a really bad pain. It's more like the pain of putting the metal part of a pencle on a cavity. It's strange, but I'm sure it will go away, just curious if anyone has ever heard...
Fun fact of the day : you have no pain or sensory receptors in your brain. So you can't actually feel damage to the brain , even if a giant parasitic worm is eating it as we speak. This is also why we can do awake open brain surgery.The closest sensory receptors to the brain are in the covering over the brain (the meninges). These bit has blood vessels , dura , fibrous tissue and the works. In fact, when people get migraines , the pain is often coming from blood vessel pain receptors in the meninges and definitely not coming from inside any hemisphere of the brain .Now it's completely possible to shake your head so hard that you bruise the brain (this is why people who shake their babies are often thrown in jail). The brain sort of floats in the skull cavity and there is room for compression . This is less of a problem for side to side shaking and more a problem for front to back shaking because along the back of the skull where the occipital lobe rests are ridges which can tear into the occipital lobe if the brain is shaken hard. But like I said, even if you were shaken so hard (like on a poorly designed roller-coaster, or car accident ) that you ripped your occipital lobe on the back of your skull, you still wouldn't feel it. So as to why one side of your head feels different than the other : all I can say is the problem is most likely not in your brain. It could be due to oversensativity in the meninges . It could also be from something in the inner ear.
Drop your chin to your chest to stretch the back of your neck.Lace your fingers together at the back of your skull and gently increase the stretch.Then keep pushing down with your hands and start pushing upwards with your head.Relax and bring your head up.It's kinda hard to put in writing. If it doesn't help, that's not what I meant. :)
It could be a number of things. I'm going to address the most common symptoms and causes which I see in my clinic.Assuming that the pain is not in the center of the back, but is toward the side, then the problem is likely a combination of tight muscles and hypo-mobility of the joint between rib and vertebra. If the pain is in the upper shoulder than the effected joint is likely between rib 1 and T1 (at the junction between your upper back and neck). If the pain is lower down than the numbers go up (rib 2 and t2, etc). The reason you feel pain in the upper back when you turn your head is pure biomechanics. Say for example that the problem is at the rib 1/T1 vertebral junction. Turning the head to the right would stretch the sternocleidomastoid muscle and scalene muscles on the left. This would increase pressure at the joint causing pain. Often times the pain is not exactly at the joint, but is closer to where the angle of the rib meets up with muscle. That is why the pain is so sharp (often described as knife like). The angle of the rib is cutting into the muscle every time you turn your head. If the muscles were more relaxed and the joint moving properly than this would not be the case.At home treatments include heat to relax the muscles (no more than 1/2 hour at a time). The heat will also increase tissue healing by helping blood flow.Lying on top of a tennis ball can work out any knots you have in the area.However, if I'm right and the problem is hypo-mobility of the rib/vertebral joint then the only real fix is to find a chiropractor that is good at treating that joint.Hope that helps!http://www.villagechiropractican...
