Electrical Vibration in head

I am a 50 year old male, past history of gall bladder disease and suffered a severe childhood electrocution from which I fully recovered (but one of my fingers now has a more pointy end, lol), but otherwise well.  In the past few weeks I have suffered from an electrical vibration in my head that awakens me from sleep - it doesn't last long once I am roused, and I have never noticed it when awake. However, it is becoming more frequent and feels like a tingling or full vibration throughout my whole head.  Does anyone have any knowledge that this could be linked to my childhood electrocution and possible long term nerve damage (although I have never noticed anything like this in the past 42 years), or do you have any suggestions as to where I should start looking for help?  Thanks, kind regards Targa.

I have the same symptom lately, happening upon falling asleep... almost feels like a small seizure.  I wake up immediately and seems to happen over and over again in one night.  Then other nights, nothing.  Just today,, for the first time, I had it while awake.  It was soon after a large coffee.  I'm wondering if caffeine plays a role.  Also wondering if it was a mini-stroke.  Any ideas?

I'm wondering if you ever found the reason for the sensation in your head?  Is it better?  I'm experiencing a humming sensation on my right side of my head - only notice it at home.  My husband believes it is there  all day but the noise at work makes it hard to notice.

my mother started that now 7 years ago and found no immediate answers and it progressed, interestingly she is also in your age group. Currently working with great endocrinologist after an MRI. Has pituitary/parathyroid imbalance and now lesions that occur from fatigue syndrome. the electrical sensation she still deals with as it fluctuates in severity. The neurologist was good but hers misdiagnosed the problem the first time so dont rule out the endocrinologist or even a neuroendocrinologist either. And I'll add a Good luck too

Hi,
This tingling sensation in your head could be due to neuralgias. Please consult a neurologist as i think you need to undergo complete neurological examination and possibly a CT scan or MRI.Good luck!
