I am a 28 yr old female and I've experienced the following problem ever since I was a kid. Some times it doesn't happen for months, and sometimes it's quite frequent.
All I do is turn my head for something as simple as backing my car up and suddenly an electric shock like pain shoots up my neck,and then a painful hot sensation spreads up my neck into one side of my head (and back behind my ear). The feeling slowly fades, and is generally gone within 5 minutes. I know this isn't a life altering symptom, as it isn't constant or long lasting, my reason for writing is that I'm concerned about whether this is a sign of a larger problem, ie; MS, disc compression. Or is that strange hot spreading feeling blood from a ruptured vessel, or is this a common thing that is nothing to worry about? Thanks for your time and insight.
