See your physician: These symptoms may represent a headache, neuralgia, other neurological condition, muscle strain/spasm, etc. You should keep a log of the location, timing, duration, and intensity of these episodes and take the log with you to your primary care physician. https://www.aan.com/Guidelines/Home/ByTopic?topicId=16
