Sharp knife pain in my head with suddel movement, paralizing for a few seconds.

[weird_symptoms]

I have been having severe problems with dizzyness and ear ringing for 6 months now.  Recently had a CT scan and MRI to check for tumor or sinus infections, everything was "ok"

Just yesterday out of nowhere when i layed my head back and hit the wall slightly i had a paralizing feeling on the left side of my head, feels like a knife stabbing and dragging down a few inches, lasts about 15 seconds then stops.  Since then, anytime I make a movement, or go over a bump in a car/bike, I get the same feeling, at the same place, for the ame amount of time.  After each episode my scalp at the area feels warm and cold, then that also goes away.

I have been taking serc for 2 weeks now for my dizzyness and wonder if that could be the cause.  I am 24, in good health, no smoking, drinking, or any type of caffein, normal blood pressure, and all tests come back good.

I was also wondering if the MRI's accuracy is high....if maybe there could be something they missed and if an MRI looks at all parts of the brain or only parts sepcified by a doctor to be looked at.

I would love any answer, I get so scared, scaring my family, and im scared to be with my kids alone and something happens.  Could a headache be triggered by movenent, or jolting over bumps? and the dissapear?  Or is it something more serious.  Any qulified answer would be so much appreciated.

I have not been to an ENT yet or have not been checked for either of those things but now that I have the direction that will be the first thing I discuss with my doctor!  Thank you very much for your time :)

Hi

I do understand how worried you are about this.

Dizziness and ringing of the ears may suggest an inner ear problem. In your case a central cause involving the brain has been ruled out. MRI and CT scans have relatively high sensitivity in ruling out bleed or tumors. At this point, have you been completely assessed by an ENT specialist? A problem with the inner ear or a peripheral nerve problem has to be ruled out. Neuralgia and cervical spine problems need to be excluded here also.

Have you been assessed along this line?
