rubber band sensation in head - Headaches & Migraines Message Board

For the last 4-5 years I have had this weird thing happen in head. I will be laying in bed and it is as if someone wound up a rubber band and lets it go in my head. There is no pain, I suffer from headaches as well, but not neccessarily at same time. It is very scary!!! I am shook up for a few min. afterward. Please, does any one else know what I am talking about? I have been searching forever on the net trying to find someone else with same symptom. Please, let me know. It comes very unexpected and goes as fast as it came. It lasts for a second and then gone, I then have a tingly sensation in head for a few minutes. It is almost like a electric shock.

It's funny this started a few months ago and happened about 4 x so far and My dad died 21/2 years ago and I swear the first couple times it happended I thought he was zapping me or something!! It literally feels like some one shot a rubber band at the side of my neck around my collarbone..I ahven't had any testing or even mentioned it to my doctor..A mri would show if there was something wrong..I tried to look up electric shock sensation and it has to do w/ a cervical disc problem and somethign to do w/ the nerves..how often does it happen? do you have any other symptoms? what does your doctor think? I also have the headaches and I have been getting a kinda tingling sensation around the one side of the back of my head..it's kinda weird
