Electricity headaches
by carlotayoyo, Sep 04, 2008 12:09AM
Hi. I have recently started to get a sudden kind of headache that last for a sec or two and that it comes as an electricity shock, I even get like the sound of it, and then they disappear leaving me a bit confused for few seconds but being able to resume my life after.
I got them for the last 3 months and they don't follow any pattern. I can have them 2-3 times in a week and then they won't appear for a couple of weeks.
I call it headache because I got them on my head but they are not painful at all. But I am a bit worried as I don't know what to associate them to.
Does anyone Know what can cause them and how to prevent them?
Thank you very much.

How are you?
Electric shock like sensations in the head can be due to a pinched nerve in the neck. A compressed nerve in the upper part of neck can cause electric shock like sensations in the head.
Have you recently discontinued any medications?
Medications like SSRI (serotonin reuptake inhibitors) like Zoloft, cymbalta, and lexapro can lead to electric shock like sensations in the head or brain zaps.
Please discuss this with your family doctor. Let us know if you need more information.
Take care!
Thanks again,
Bibiana
Till the time you are able to see your doctor, I would advise you do some neck exercises and apply cold compresses to your neck.
Make sure you get up and stretch after spending some time in front of the computer. A neck massage will also help.
