Spasms in head????

[popcornn]

I wrote yesterday about headahces. Today, I'm not experiancing any, BUT I'm having constant weird sensations in my head, my like muscles are spasing in my head. I dunno what they are. Has anyone else had these? Is it a responce to aprin or something? They dont hurt...they just feel weird and are annoying. Is this something serious?

Hey!!!! I am literally experiencing the exact same thing as you and I'm only 18 as well!! I do suffer from anxiety but I'm not really sure if these head issues I've been having lately are because of my anxiety because it seems to bother me now from the moment I wake up till the time I go to bed..

My Symptoms:

Spasms in Neck
Spasms in back of head
Stiff Neck
Neck Pain
Cracking Neck
Can not sit at computer (makes everything worse)

Doctors have done so many tests, cant find anything. One doctor said i might have military neck (no neck curvature).

Cures for me:
Going to gym working out
Taking a vacation in a hotel for a few days (every pain is gone).
A good massage, hard massaging, getting the knotts out (dont get a weak cheap massage). Massage therapy for me is the best option because i dont have time to vacation.

Bottom line is i think i have stress and probably some allergies and everything combines to make my neck get swollen and my brain swollen. Stress is a killer, you all know that. Do your selves a favor and take a break. Sitting at a computer in a fixed position for a long time strains your neck.

I think part of my pain was caused by my chiropractor doing a bad adjustment on my neck, but the stress and allergies and everything else doesn't allow my body to keep the inflammation under control.

The Stress is like AIDS (auto immune deficiency syndrome). Our immune systems are not efficient to control our inflammation in our damaged areas because the stress is taxing our bodies so heavily.

i've had spasms in my head for about 20 yrs. maybe 3-4 times a year. feels like my head is expanding , no pain but feel like i'm going to faint, then they pass. very scary indeed. i take a sudafed or similar med and it seems to help. could be related to nasal polyps i'm guessing. if it was an anuerism or heart problem i figure i would be dead by now. had none for two years but had one 3 days ago while in the grocery store. very scary!!

I get these as well, big twitches and spasms on my temple area or top of head or sometimes even forehead. I have found that mine is caused from trigger points and muscle insufficiency in my neck due to a car accident and whiplash injury. I get trigger point injections in my neck and upper occipital area and this seems to alleviate those referral areas, chronic stress, anxiety, poor posture, poor sleep posture, these can all lead to problem in the neck and spine. It sounds more musculoskeletal in nature than anything else. Areas in the Trapezius directly refer to the temporalis and TMJ areas. Possibly consider a massage therapist, chiro, PT, or even a neurologist, hope  this helps,


Cheers

This sounds similar to what's been happening to me. Mine are reacting in 3 ways:
1 - Full spasms of random body parts with no build up - might be neck, arm, leg, etc (sort of like a leg jerk when you are falling asleep)
2 - A "build up" feeling sort of like I feel static building up in my head and nervous system (usually a couple of seconds) leading to a spasm of external muscles
3 - a "brain spasm" that feels like the muscle spasms but only seems to happen internally in my head/nervous system sometimes feels like a mild electric shock

While they feel like a jolt or a shock there is no pain, no "noises" or "lights" like Brain Explosion Syndrome people have.

Sometimes is makes my muscle in the area week which worries me when I am running or carrying things or driving.

This is the 3rd time I have had these. They start, become more frequent, hang around a few weeks and then disappear. The frequency and spacing of them is always random they could be hours apart or minutes. However it seems to increase in frequency/intensity later in the day.

I have been on other medications which seem to have no impact so far. Diet, exercise, sleep, or other changes seem to have no effect. I have had blood panels, MRIs, EEGs, so far nothing has been diagnosed. It is eerie, disturbing, and unpleasant.
