A member asked:

Had a eeg bout hour ago immediately after the back of my head n temples hurt y could this b should i go to emergency room is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

EEG: Having an eeg is painless and safe. Eeg's are not known to cause headaches. The cause of your headache is most likely not from an eeg.
