Hi Doctor,
For the last 8 days, I have been experiencing a strange sensation in my head. It initially started on the left side at the back of my head, near the ear. For the past 4 days, it has changed to a feeling of heaviness or pressure, like there is some weight on that side. It is not really a headache, but I occasionally feel small, pin-like pains here and there.
I have checked some of my neurological functions myself, and everything seems normal. I can move my eyes normally, walk properly, do household activities, and continue my office work without any problem.
Do you think I still need a CT scan or MRI based on these symptoms?
I am also quite scared about the possibility of a brain tumor/cancer. I understand that no one can rule that out without proper examination or scanning, but I wanted to know whether my symptoms alone suggest anything concerning that would require imaging.
Please advise me on what I should do next.

Hi All,
I have been experiencing a very strange kind of pain on the upper left side of my head, just above the ear.
It started about 4 days ago. The pain was quite intense during the first two days, and since then it has changed into a radiating, throbbing, or “zap-like” pain that comes and goes.
Two days ago, I woke up around 5:00 AM because of neck pain along with pain in that area of my head. However, I was able to go back to sleep later without any issues.
Unfortunately, I searched Google and read that headaches that wake you up from sleep can be a sign of a brain tumor, which has made me extremely anxious.
This morning, I also experienced some dizziness, although I’m not sure whether it was due to stress and fear or something else.
The throbbing/zap-like pain continues to come and go. I have tried taking a vitamin B12 tablet and a painkiller, but I haven’t noticed much relief.

I have a history of health anxiety (hypochondria), so this has significantly
My grandfather's age is 84 and he has been taking oxcarbazepine 300 mg tablet(oxcarbazepine colour yellow fcp and titanium dioxide ip) but still today his condition worsened when he was taking tea and he experienced another seizure for 2-3 mintues. He is already a brain patient from 1992 (at that time he had a brain stroke and due to no medical advancement he doesn't get a treatment at that time) but in 2012 he started getting seizures and he had operated for hernia in 2022 and still getting medicine for urine and his epilepsy medicines brand recently changed by pharmacist due to unavailability in area...please suggest what should we do now to keep him healthy. And he was also having problems while breathing yesterday
