A member asked:

In your opinion, what does frequent tingling in the back of the brain/head mean? tumor? weekend excessive drinking related? (i'm going to doctor)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually tension: Regional dysesthesias in that area are almost always due to tension. Look inside yourself and learn why you are tense and why you resort to alcohol.
