A member asked:

Is head pressure, that is caused by involuntary tensing of the head dangerous as sometimes i have felt some pain and two times it has been sharp pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need Clarification: Involuntary tensing? Sharp pain how long stayed, how long you had it. Any family history of major disease?
