feeling of fullness+sharp pain in head

[philip314]

Since march i have getting a feeling of fullness and sharp pain in one specific part of my head. The area is on top of my head at the back and sort of to the left. Anyway I saw my doctor and he did a ct scan, but without contrast. I am really worried that i might have an anuerysm or something serious. The pain comes and goes and lasts about 10 min. at a time. Lately it has been getting more frequent and more intense. I am a 16 year old male. There is one more piece of information, not sure if it might have something to do with this but I had an Intercranial hemmerahge when I was a few years old.

I'd go back to the doctor and tell them about that intercranial hemorhage!  They should have done your scan w/and without contrast, if they knew about that.

Hi
Welcome to the forum!
A sharp pain and fullness at the top of the head could be due to pinched cervical spinal nerves. This can happen due to overuse of computers, work involving straining of neck, canal stenosis, bone disease, spondylosis, poor posture etc. Use a hard bed to sleep. Avoid a pillow. Roll a towel and place it under your neck while sleeping. Initially this will be uncomfortable but with time the acupressure will do wonders. Use an analgesic cream or spray. Anti-inflammatory drugs help. A good physiotherapist can teach you some exercises which will help you a lot. A MRI of the cervical spine may be required. Please consult a neurologist.
As SurgiMenopause said, when you consult the doctor tell him about an intracranial hemorrhage you had as an infant.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
