Posted on "health" board...no response...DH having strange headache/pain...anyone experience??

DH has been complaining here and again (often enough to worry me) about a stabbing shooting pain in the back right side of his head.

it doesn't last very long, maybe 10 minutes, but he says it's very painful and he thinks it's "a brain tumor"

I'm sure and obviously would hope that it's nothing that extreme, but seeing as I've never experienced this I figured I'd ask if anyone has any insight to what this could be??

Webmd and other sites say everything from cluster/migraine headaches, to brain anneurysms are possible causes...that clearly doesn't help LOL

Thanks in advance if any of you could offer any insight to this...

I would definitely make an appt for him to see a neurologist to rule anything out. I was having terrible headaches a few years ago and went to a doc, who sent me for an MRI. It's a PITA, but you want to rule out any of the "bad" things.

A friend's friend, who is about 33 y/o, had a brain anheuryism (sp?) a couple of years ago and had to be rushed to the E.R. in the middle of the night. She's fine now, thank God. I don't say that to alarm you, but just make an appt so you are proactive about it.

It could just be migraines or an allergy or too many sugar substitutes or something like that. It could be SO many things, so you're better off getting it checked out as soon as you can. You'll both feel better when you know it's nothing serious, God wants.

Good luck!
