Question 2

i've had a numbness like falling asleep senstation on right side of head comes and goes for a month and a weird twitching on left temple. stress?

Accepted Answer

Unclear: Since you are being treated for a sinus infection situation is more complex.  Pay attention to what part of right head goes numb.  Nerves to anterior skull are different from nerves to posterior skull.  The fact that you are young and symptoms are on opposite sides of head makes possibility of concerning illness less.  Stress can cause non-specific, wierd symptoms; but caution when infection.

Question 6

i have a pain left side of head comes and goes lasts-few secs behind eye and sometimes in my left ear can this be a brain tumour or anuresym? 24/m

Accepted Answer

Probably not serious: Probably not a serious problem but it depends on how long you have been having these transient pains behind your left eye/ear. If the pains have been present for more than one month and if they are present most of the day then you should see you physician and consider an MRI of the head. If the pain is fleeting and not present long it is unlikely to be a brain tumor or aneurysm. Relax.

Question 7

had on and off sharp pain for 2 days, pulsating, right side of head, doesn't feel like headache as it comes and goes within seconds, is it posture/nerves?

Accepted Answer

Exam and history: Too vague a question without having a thorough history and an examination.  Too many variables when attempting to determine the cause of a headache.  Have you seen a doctor.  You might also keep a pain diary and note how you feel throughout the day.

Question 8

sharp, shooting pain behind right eye, side of head and top of head. comes and goes for days. what is this?

Accepted Answer

Hemicrania continua: Is a rare continuous one-sided headache that never shifts sides. The typical presentation is a dull throbbing ache that is moderate to severe in intensity.  The primary area of pain is located in the ocular temporal region or in the occipital area. 
Rec.See a headache or orofacial pain specialist.

Question 9

right side of head and temple right side  swollen it  hurts when turn head to the right, comes and goes and feeling like a shooting pain but my temple dont hurt

had bacterial phemonia a few weeks ago took medicine for it

Accepted Answer

Head pain : More details are needed from a physical examination and full history. The side of the temple has a muscle under the scalp. A muscle in the neck (SCM sternocleidomastoid) and the TMJ can refer pain to the temple.  The SCM is used to turn the neck and when inflamed can send pain to the temple.

Question 10

i've read headaches are rarely caused by brain tumors, but when they are, are sharp, short-lived and random pains,or dull and constant pain?since yesterday,sharp pain comes and goes on right side of head but then disappers.sound like type with tumor?

Accepted Answer

Only if a person...: If a person is a scientist researching brain tumors, or is a patient recovering from recent brain tumor treatment or cancer, then it can be reasonable to think about brain tumors when headaches recur. Otherwise, brain tumors are so rare, it would not be rational to think a person's headache is a brain tumor (unless there are other symptoms). People generally die of other things, not brain tumors.
