What can cause a shooting pain followed by dizziness on the left side of the head. only lasts for about 5-10 seconds, have never had a head injury.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neuralgia?: Irritation of a nerve can cause unilateral (one side) shooting pains and dizziness might occur in some situations of head nerves. The fact that it only lasts a few seconds might support the idea of a "neuralgiform" pain syndrome (stemming from nerve irritation). These can be difficult to track down, and tests often normal. Any relationship to the wisdom tooth extraction?
