hi...a few times a week, I get these little 'hedaches' in my head that last for even less than a second. The pain isn't really that bad or severe, just like if someone maybe tapped me on the back of the head. I am a very anxious person, and I noticed that these increased in frequency after the terrorist attacks, and now they are getting much better and happening as less ofter. They arn't in any specific part of the brain either. Does anyone lese have these weird little things?

Hi china. I've read a few of your other posts and it seems like the symptoms you point to are an anxiety disorder. It may help to see a psychiatrist. Not so much to do talk therapy (unless you'd like that) but so that he may prescribe a drug that could help you with your situation. There are many types of anti-anxiety medications. Good luck.

Hi Chinadoll - sounds like you may have nueralgia (don't know how it's spelled) My Grandma gets this - little pinging pains - nothing severe or serious - check with your doc.

Hmm...I did a search for that, and it doesn't sound like that is it, just because these are not extremely painful. I think I will post this also in the stress and anxiety section...i think it ,ight have to do with that?
