Sharp pains in head
Hi, I'm a 17 year old girl. About two weeks ago I went to the hospital because I was having a constant headache. I mean seriously, it didn't go away for 2 weeks. So, the doctors did a cat scan on my head, and everything came back fine. And I haven't sufferd from any head injuries lately(atleast not to my knowledge). About two days later, the head aches went away. But NOW I have been getting small head aches every day, and sometimes I just get these sharp pains in my head. Mostly around my temples or the back of my head. And it get's me really dizzy.
Is this something I should be really worried about? Maybe something the cat-scan didn't see? I'm really worried it's going to be an aneurysm or something like that and I'm just going to drop dead out of know where.
Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. But I also suffer from anxiety attacks. I get them daily. So could this also be something to do with it?
Please, help me. I'm really scared. :confused: :confused: :confused:

I would get a second opinion. The dizzy part would make me worry. Don't PANIC, but do get another opinion. I would not worry about an aneurysm.. its highly unlikely.. and most of the time, the person doesn't even know they have one.
Just doing some digging, it could be a cluster headache, migraines, Ice pick headache, etc etc... hell, it could even be an ear infection or sinus problems. Just don't jump to the conclusion that its something horrible! Have the doctor do an MRI..
FYI: I'm not a doctor :) good luck!

While trying to avoid getting extra anxious over this problem of your, I would still try a second opinion and a third one, if necessary. Headaches can simply be migraines, but even so, they have to be cured, otherwise life can be pretty miserable.
My grandaughter, who is 21, also suffered from migraines and she went to several doctors who could not manage to cure them. Until she met that doctor - a naturopath - who has, so far, succeeded in healing her headaches.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that recently I have had bronchitis, and now I have a cold with a cough and stuffy nose. Lol

As Skyrocket also says I think the soundest advice is to get a second opinion and, if needed, even a third one. It will be worth your while and will help you to get rid of any misfeelings you may have
