What Causes Sudden Painful Spot In Head And Tinnitus During Sleep?

57 year old male very good physical condition,2 nights ago I woke to a sharp quarter sized area on my head that ached and burned like a Ground wasp or black ground hornet sting. I sat up on the edge of my bed and in only a few seconds I could not keep my balance and my head was ringing very loudly. I started to sweat and it was dripping off my face it seemed like in a matter of seconds. I am a furniture mover for the last 30 years and never a smoker, I am not overweight at all. This only lasted for I think for 10-15 minutes and all sympoms were gone in an hour or so. I have had Solitary plasma cytoma in my head 15 years ago. The only symptom I still have is a very sore spot the size of a dime, and I am going to see a DR. in the morning. I have poor insurance at best so I have to see Dr to be refered to see somebody
