Tingling sensation in head - Headaches & Migraines Message Board

Hey

I've had a headache for the past 3-4 days now. Its not bad but i feel really tired and groggy. I work for a neurologist and his wife told me it could be weather related....i live in florida and its been raining all week.

However today while i was a work i got this thingling sensation on the top left side of my head. The Dr. wife gave me some migrane medicine but it didnt help much.

This happened about a month ago too.....but it was accompanied by a weird numb burning feeling on the right side of my head. When that happened i went to the ER and they told me it was just a headache and after 5 hours sent me home...the next day i still felt it and so i went to the ER in the next town and they dr. there told me i probably strained the muscles on the right side of my head....probably from dance. So he gave me some muscle relaxers and within the next few days i felt fine.

The Dr's wife said i should see a neurologist to get an MRI done. My question is has this ever happened to anyone else before? Its kinda scaring me. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi, is it just tingling or is it like a zap?

it feels like something is crawling on my head....and its always the same spot. Its not a zap.

I had that for awhile and got an MRI done and it was fine. Might be stress related. i wouldn't worry too much though.

So is the sensation more on your skull/scalp...or deeper?

I have had the same sensation. I get it on the top, back, left area of my head/scalp/skull. It tingles...almost feels like its gone to sleep like a numb foot. My neurologist said it was just another type of aura I experience. I sometimes get the same feeling on the left side of my face.
