A member asked:

I just had a sharp pain on my left side of head, it was brief, lasted a second, i have no headache, i have a bit of the sniffles, what's up? serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neuralgia: Such a sharp, shooting, fleeting pain is characteristic of neuralgia which comes from a superficial nerve in the scalp and not the brain itself. This is not a serious problem and may or may not recur. See your physician if you have steady pain or frequent headaches.
