Twitching eyelids, then tingling hands and feet, mostly left side. Not all day, just sometimes.
Then this morning when getting ready for work, I had a really intense 'ice-pick' kind of headache for longer than usual. (30-45 seconds, on right side). Then straight after I've been brain-foggy all day. Headachy too and I've a had a few more mild ice-pick-type pains.
The tingles aren't new, but don't happen as often as they used to 8 years ago. (I had a stack of MRI's back then to rule out M.S).

2.5 years ago I had the ice-pick headache, but my left side immediately went heavy and tingly. Hubby and I were scared so went to the ED. Ending up staying in the Stroke ward for 2 days until it settled. MRI showed nothing thank goodness. I was told to see my neuro but never did..

I'm really tired and feel like I have a mild concussion. (I've had a few of those over the years!)

So....after all that....should I see my Dr. sooner rather than later? Are these 'warning signs' of something nasty?....
Thanks!
Michelle
Hi. Sorry to hear about your pain. I was recently diagnosed with cluster headaches & that sounds a lot like clusters. Mine started every so often. Then I started getting them about 2x monthly. Then everyday. Some last minutes to hours. Have you noticed if they happen at certain times of the day? For instance, I was having them every morning at 830 & another about 11am.
