Jerk to head while waking up
Hi, 3 days ago, while waking up, I felt a sudden jerk or twist on the left side of back of the head. It felt as if I pulled or twisted a nerve. It lasted for 2-3 second. I feel mild pressure in the left side of the head. But from a day I feel the pressure coming and going and I feel very irritated and nauseated. Is this something serious? Or is it just like pulling a nerve on the leg?
