Sharp Pains In Head

[PaulMacC]

Okay I used to have these sharp pains in the top-left of my head, They went away around 1-2 years ago and now they've came back.

I dont know when they come, I walk down the street and BAM I get a sharp pain to my head and then it goes away.

Anyone know what it is ?

It could be something Serious, There are the most common serious Medical Conditions* that can trigger a Headache, If you don't seem to match one I still recomend going to see your Doctor.

1. Acute Glaucoma. Glaucoma is a serious disease that causes deterioration to the optic never fibers resulting in visual loss. The pressure behind your eye (due to fluid) can cause blurred vision, eye pain and headaches. In order to treat glaucoma, a physician will drain the fluid behind your eye, prescribe a diuretic and set up a surgery in order to resolve and/or contain this disease.

2. Sinusitis. Sinusitis is the inflammation of the membrane lining of the air spaces in the skull. It is usually a result of a common cold. In order to cure it, antibiotics and decongestants will be prescribed by your regular physician.

3. Bruising of the Brain. Bruising of the brain is damage to the brain membrane or skull after a minor blow. Because this can lead to bleeding in the skull or a fracture, your physician will request an x-ray or CT (computer tomography). He also may advise you to take over-the-counter pain killers.

4. Temporal Arteritis. Temporal Arteritis is the inflammation of the arteries in the head. Besides causing throbbing in the temple area of the head, it also can affect vision. It normally affects men and women over the age of fifty. Your doctor will have to prescribe medication to reduce the inflammation and require regular blood tests to make sure the medication is working.

5. Muscle Strain. Muscle strain is a result of over-extended muscle tissue in the body. It can occur due to poor posture, over-exertion while exercising and an accident. Your physician will most likely prescribe medications to handle both the pain to your body and head to bring you relief.

6. Migraine. A migraine is a recurrent, severe headache that normally occurs on one side of the head. They can occur as an offset of a period, tension or certain foods. Over-the-counter aspirin will not address the pain or relieve it. Your doctor will prescribe you medication and give you additional self-care tips on how to address your migraine

I go on the PC 1-2 hours a day.
It's just a sharp pain straight away and then goes away.
