Help! Ongoing numbness at side and back of head! Migraine?

Recently i have been having numbness at side and back of head whenever i feel excited for past 2 weeks. It happened about 10 times a day!

This happened even during urination or after exercising. It feels like something creeping up my head and the numbness last 20 seconds. I feel alittle nausea.

I did an MRI and it was ok. Could this be migraine or anxiety? I don't feel much pain.

Recently my blood pressure went up to 140/70 for 2 weeks.

I need your advice! Thanks!

Thank you dr. i am relieved now. I thought it was a nerve inflammation at first but now i can dismiss such a possibility.

I will be heading to my neurologist for topamax. I just hope it does not interfer with imipramine.

However i feel no pain only numbness.

Hello Melvine ,
Migraine may be some times related with numbness.You need not worry and consult a neurophysician and  can discuss regarding the drugs like topamax which will help relive pain.Anxiety may aggravate the pain,try to be calm and practice meditation which will relax your mind.
