Tingling And Pain In The Brain. Not Able To Sleep. What Is The Reason?
Hi I m 26 years old and lately I ve been feeling a strange tingling feeling as well as some slight pain on the right side of my brain. This doesn t happen every night but it does put me in a very deep sleep. No matter how hard I try to wake myself up it just makes me more drained. I go to sleep at a normal time like 10pm and wake up at 7am but when this effect takes over I sleep until 9am but I m left feeling tired the rest of the day so I take short naps because I m a mother of three. I just like to know how serious this could possibly be. Thank you for your time.

it's unclear from the story what's happening. the brain had no nerve endings so what you are feeling is a sensation in one of the tissues overlying that area or referred pain from a different area like when people have heart attacks and arm pain. if it's bothering you then you should see someone about it. there's no way to help you without more information
