Sudden Pain inside head

2018-05-12 18:04:15
Sir, Im 20 years old male. I've been experiencing a sudden ( very short duration) pain inside my head. Mostly on the right side of the Brain. It occurs once or twice in a week. Even though it lasts only for 5-10 seconds, it is quite strong. I'm worried. What's this problem called ? Should I visit a doctor ?

Headaches of very short duration (paroxysms lasting a few seconds) may be due to TACS (trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias). There are several types under this umbrella term and there are good treatment options available. However I would sincerely advise you to undergo a detailed evaluation before starting medications to confirm the diagnosis and get treated accordingly.
