Hi,
Your age does not suggest anything urgent at the moment. The risk for stroke and other vascular disorders increase as one ages. In your case, you are only 18.
I suggest that you have consult with a neurologist for a baseline neurologic examination. A referral to an ENT specialist may be indicated. Differentials for this will be a musculoskeletal pain, a dislocated temporomandibular joint, an ear problem,a dental problem or a migraine headache.
Have you had headaches before?
Are you engaged in any form of rough sports ?
Any ear problem or discharge?
Hi,
Well, I know in my case I have been told it is nothing to worry about. All my probelms are always blamed on my having Lupus. I am not suggesting that you have the same thing, but I know exactly the senation you are referring to. I have only met a couple of other people with the same experieince and one had Lupus as well. Explain this to your doctor who may suggest you see a neurologist. I would not panic but would have it looked into.
