i've been experiencing some twitches in the left side of my head in the temple region, it would stop at random and start at random. this is new to me?

Question

For days I have had temple pressure, twitching and numbness on top of my head right side that numbs my face. What is wrong? How can I make it stop?

Answer 1

May need doc visit: It could be stress related. If persists or gets worse please see your doc.

Answer 2

3 stages: There are 3 stages: nit (egg), nymph (smaller version of adult), and adult. Time from egg to having another egg develop is one month.

Answer 3

Head lice?: If you mean head lice, start in the back on the head where they head lice eggs are most common. Look for crwling lice or clear eggs attached to the hair.

Answer 4

Yes: Als, can cause moodswings, memory loss, and difficulty deciding.

Answer 5

ALS: Not directly. Mental capacity is maintained. Depression and anxiety are not unusual for a progressive ultimately fatal disease.

Answer 6

Very rarely: On occasion, a patient with ALS may exhibit symptoms similar to Fronto-temporal dementia. If behavior changes with problems with language, impulse control, organizational skill loss, this aspect should be investigated.

Answer 7

See discussion: Hitting your head won't cause a stroke in the way we generally refer to a stroke-a blockage of a blood vessel in your brain. However hitting your head hard can do some other things that aren't good. A more likely effect would be a concussion, which can have neurological effects on you. Less likely, but a hard hit could potentially cause a bleed in your brain, & this could have stroke-like effects.

Answer 8

Yes but rarely: Most likely hitting your head hard enough to cause internal damage, i.e. Within the skull cavity, will result in bruising of brain tissue, subdural hematoma, extradural hematoma, and intracerebral hematoma. These are not properly called strokes. The only way a stroke could occur would by loosening of a plaque from an arterial wall or compression of a carotid artery in the neck.

Answer 9

Yes, pluck it out: If one, two, or three eyelashes are poking one in the eye, he can just pluck out the lashes. If he is not steady with his hands, he should have a steadier person do the plucking (wouldn't want him to accidentally poke himself in the eye). If the lashes keep growing back, he can ask an ophthalmologist to see if there is a way to fix the problem permanently.

Answer 10

Yep: If it recurs, a laser can help.
