Why Do I Get Sudden And Short Pain At Different Part Of My Head If This Could Mean Something Serious Or Is It Something That Would Go Away On Its Own?

Posted on Thu, 24 Nov 2022

Question: 4 Days back I suddenly started having pain in different parts of my head. The pain is mild and is pulsing that means it comes and goes away in 2-3 seconds and as such is not interfering with my life function. The Pain is point pain which is I feel it at some particular points, one is above my left eyebrow and one is at the Top Center of my Head . It occurs throughout the day at different times and is not specific to any time period. Other then that I do not have any noticeable Symptom. Since as such its not disturbing, my only worry was if this could mean something serious or is it something that would go away on its own
