Strange pain in side of brain while shaking head.
 

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I'd like to ask a question about something I have been experiencing for at least a year or more. It's hard to tell exactly when my symptoms started.

What I feel is this pain in the right top side of my head when I shake my head left/right. The pain feels like it's a size of a golfball. It's localized, it does not bother me when I work out using heavy weights. I do some natural bodybuilding so I work out pretty hard. I can sometimes kind of feel a pressure behind my right eye. The more worked up, stressed out, or tired I get, usually, the worse it gets. Like after a day of work it'll be lingering there and I know it's there cause when I shake my head, bam, ouch! It's always in the same spot, never moves.

Last year had some CAT scans for something else. I was experiencing this shooting pain on occassion through the same general area it seems. They said nothing could be seen. They said I had swollen sinuses, that's it. I do get dust allergies throughout the day, and more so in the morning.

In the past 2 years (I'm 25) I have been getting anxiety attacks. I've gotten them twice before after I smoked marijuana, but when I was 24, they were pretty bad. I still get them on occasion, and they suck. I also have high blood pressure. I take medicine and my blood pressure is stable. (About 127/65).

I am not experiencing any vision loss, hearing loss, etc. I've always had a pretty up and down personality. I'm probably more stable now than I've ever been. Not experiencing any shakes... the occasional twitch, yes. I'll get a twitch in my eyelid rarely. I used to get them all the time in high school. My balance is still good...

I don't know what it could be. Can anyone help me?

I have the exact same thing going on, minus the anxiety stuff. I was google searching it and found your post. It doesn't hurt normally, but I am conscious of it being there all of the time, like a slight pressure around the size of a golf ball up above and behind my right eye and centrally located over the right ear inside my skull(if you drew one line up from my right eye and another up from my ear, it would be slightly forward of where the two lines met), and when I shake my head it feels like its tugging on or putting pressure on my brain, and does not quite move with or like the surrounding tissue does. Of course, I'm just describing what it feels like to me, because I don't know what is truly going on. Sometimes I also get a random localized headache in the same area. It has me perplexed and wanting to seek medical advice, but I make barely enough to afford the bills I already have and can't afford new ones.


If anyone has any advice for us, we would greatly appreciate it.
