Should I be worried?

Hi I'm Jessica. I'm a 23 year old female and lately I've been alittle worried about this pain in my head.

About a month ago, out of nowhere came this 'drop everything you're doing' pain in the back of my head. The pain came, went, came then stopped and immediately after that the spot tingled and went numb. I hadn't felt it since today. But this time after the pain stopped the area got numb and I felt like I was going to pass out. I couldn't concentrate and I could feel my body shake lightly. I was freaking out cause that never happened before.

I haven't had any head trauma and my stress levels are nothing I can't handle. What could this be? Should I be worried or should I see a doctor? Please help.  D=   Thank you...

If you get a headache that you would describe as "the worst headache you have ever felt or the worst pain you can imagine" then please go to the ER or an Urgent Care Centre as this could be an emergency. If the headache is just a very very very bad headache then go see your family doctor or go to a walk in clinic right away.
