What is this sudden sharp pain in my head?
See your health care provider as soon as possible. In such cases a doctor will test your memory, concentration, and coordination, any of which may be impaired if the brain is damaged. Questionable findings may warrant a closer look with a CT scan or an MRI. Both exams can reveal signs of bleeding in the brain, which may require surgical drainage. (Resist taking anything but acetaminophen to squelch pain; aspirin, ibuprofen, and other anti-inflammatory drugs can increase bleeding and mask certain worsening symptoms). This may not be your case. See a doctor now. I hope this helps you. And good luck.
Sharp pain in my head.?
Nelly Your UB/GB Meridian may have blockage on back left side of your head. pl see what suits you. If you are in cold country use all warm things. Pl try cold water bath and observe if in hot country, if pain increases use warm. If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help. Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try. Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief. If it fails you will have to go for Acupuncture. There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic. Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it. Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see. Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds. The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more. Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole. Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits like dates, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there. But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong. If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds. For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below. It may disappear naturally too.

See your health care provider as soon as possible (primary care doctor). High blood pressure (hypertension). Severe high blood pressure that has been present a long time can cause headaches. The pain is throbbing, occurs in spasms, and is felt at the back or top of the head. Rarely, headaches are caused by a serious disorder. Such disorders include a head injury, stroke, bulge in the wall of an artery supplying the brain (cerebral aneurysm), brain infection (brain abscess, meningitis, and encephalitis), and blood vessel (arteriovenous) malformation near the brain. All of the usual over-the-counter drugs (acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen) are quite effective in relieving headache. Also see your pharmacist for pain relievers.
