Right side top Head Pain/ Sharp

Top Right Side of my head has had a rough go round the last few months. I first noticed it 3 months ago. Slight pain sudden but not lasting. Then a few weeks later sudden and recurring plus sharp pains. Got a CT- nothings wrong they said. Gave me some pain killers That Didn't Work. That one lasted a full month and I've never gotten a headache in this location before. Now this being the same location I'm starting to get sharp pains again with slight if any constant pain. I'm Scared!! My right ear is somewhat clogged too. If that has anything to do with it... ikd     ~ HELP

Hi,
How are you? A seizure is the physical findings that occur after an episode of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. There are different kinds of seizure and presents with different symptoms,  depending on what parts of the brain are involved. Symptoms can include staring spells that can easily go unnoticed to twitching or shaking of the body. A seizure may be related to a temporary condition, such as exposure to drugs, a high fever, or abnormal levels of sodium or glucose in the blood. If the repeated seizures do not recur  the underlying problem is corrected, the person does not have epilepsy. I hope this helps. Take care and do keep us posted.

I get migraines all the time because I have a lot of anxiety and stress problems. My fiance' has migraines to which led to a stroke so yeah you should most definetly figure out what it is, but stress can really be a trigger for migraines as far as brain seizures I'm not sure about them, but I will try to look up some information about them and send it to you. I have 3 step children so yeah, I know what you mean.

Thank you for asking. I did go to the doc and she said that my ears look fine. I don't agree cause they still hurt. Could it be something very back inside the ear? maybe that she missed. I'm still so very afraid I might die from this constant headache. What do you know about brain seizures. The pain started on the top of the right side and seems to literally be moving back to the mid back top right side of my head.. seems strange i know. stress yes, of course I have an 8 and 4 year old plus boyfriend who seems to be 13 or so mentally. sorry not your problem :) kidding please reply!!!

Hi,
How are you? It is good that the CT scan result was fine.Ear pain highly suggests ear infection. It would help if you have this evaluated further by an ENT. Tension-Type headaches presents with dull, non-throbbing pain, often associated with tightness of scalp or neck. The degree of severity remains constant. This is often due to emotional stress and sometimes hidden depression. Try to rest, apply ice packs, take pain relievers or muscle relaxants. If your current medication is not working, inform your doctor for a stronger prescription medicine. Take care and do keep us posted.
