Head pain...

[fliptheswitch]

Just a quickie, whilst i've just been reminded of it...

For the past 3 days, I've been getting a sharp pain in the side of my head. It's about 4 inches above my left ear, and is not constant but more quick and sharp.
The only way I can describe it, is it feels a bit like a quick electric shock. It doesn't hurt very much, but does make me go "ouch".
it comes and goes, every couple of minutes or so.

Any ideas?

I get that occasionally flip and it used to worry me, but over the years nothing happens so I assume its a nerve ending or something. I do also get "visual migraines" about twice a year but the Doctor assured me there wwas nothing wrong. If you are worried just get it checked but I think you'll be fine (maybe the hard work of christmas?)

Thanks Ann.

I've taken some ibuprofen, and it seems to have done the job.

I've got a doctors appointment on Friday, so may mention it to him, if it's still happening.
Like you say, nothing to worry about, I'm sure.

Did you nod off in the kitchen prior to discovering your ' visitor' ? Seriously its probably tension due to constant worry about Ratty.

Haha :-)

Yeah, it could be actually.

Doesn't sound a big deal and tension is a good suggestion, however just watch out for a tell-tale rash on the same side of the face.
