I have had head spasms for 3 weeks... Finally, as I was getting massaged today, I think I figured it out.... As my shoulder was being massaged, I got a shooting pain to my head... I felt it at the top of my head; at the same place where I usually have the head spasms... My massage therapist worked my shoulder for some time. Apparently, I had major knots on my shoulder. After he loosened it, I no longer had the head pain...

I have been having head spasms as well and i believe it may be nerve related because, there was an incident when I was holding a can of cold juice in an air conditioned building and my finger stayed numb for almost 7 hours afterwards. I have had some very deep depressions as I have had trouble dealing with some deaths and find myself constantly thinking  of it. I believe i may have GAD, but are these symptoms of this disorder, i also clench my teeth often.
