Need some testing: You may either have a painless variant of ALLODYNIA which is typically associated with migraine types of headaches as an aura or premonitory marker and believed to be the propagator if not the consolidator for the long lengths of some episodes of migraine.  Or there could be metabolic or other structural items causing symptoms for which labs or testing need to be done.

See an ENT: You should consider seeing an ear, nose, throat specialist. Other considerations for evaluation are a dentist, oral surgeon, or a gastroenterologist.

Question 9

do you think numbness/sorenss on the scalp after several cigerettes in a short amount of time may be caused by ischemia? is this a dangerous sign?

Accepted Answer

Scalp paresthesia: Smoking several cigarettes in a short period of time could intensify the effects that occur normally. Rapid breathing in and out - ala hyperventilation - could in itself cause paresthesia or numbness of hands, feet, or head. Nicotine does cause vascular constriction so could be responsible as well. Why only the scalp - not certain.

Question 10

what causes areas of scalp to feel like theres sudden sensation of  chills, almost like numbness and tingling, happens few times a day for a seconds.

Accepted Answer

Tingling: This would most likely be a nonspecific irritability of superficial scalp nerves. Since it's so localized, It's possibly a reaction to hair products or hair brushing or combing. Nevertheless have someone inspect your scalp to check for any sign of scalp inflammation. See your physician as needed.
