Don't always jump to the most severe case. It could be something totally different, like due to your teeth. I mean, I've had really sharp pains in the side of my head due to my own teeth problems.

i don't have problems with my teeth alpha dude, my teeth are healthy and beautiful mashallaah

Pain in side of head ?. ....... Migraine ?.

insha'Allah it is nothing serious, may the Almighty give you shifaa

I remember once in my lectures about migraine they were describing a pain similar to this known as "ice pick" pain ... sounds like what your describing ... people who suffer from this (around 40% of mgraine sufferers) describe it as a sharp knife being peirced through their head ... so it could just be severe migraine? but you should defo get it checked out insha'Allah

could it be migraine sis? i honestly don't know i never suffered from migraines in my life and its happening now?

mabe you could be right i will get it checked inshallaah

whatever it is ... the earlier it is diagnosed the better insha'Allah i pray it is something as minor as migraine, but like most people have suggested we cannot diagnose you and strongly recommend you to go to the doctors

firstly primary malignant brain tumors rapidly spread and universally fatal. People don't survive past one year.. and secondly you'd definitely be having some focal signs to accompany your headaches (most of your cranial nerves with the exception of two preside up there so you'd expect anything from drooping facial, incoherent writing and speech to ataxic gait and everything in between..

There is no good reason for you not to see a doctor, for even if I were to humor you and forget all I know of primary brain tumors especially those in the younger age group and think the worst.. you'd still have a good chance of a cure rate if you treat early then waiting and letting it spiral out of hand..

that being said (as I like to address the worst scenario first) I don't think your diagnosis is all that serious.. could be regular migraines (I've been diagnosed with chronic migraine from a young age) to depression to, panic attacks, to muscle spasms, any number of things, none of them life threatening.. but the question is, don't you want to feel better? the sooner you go the better you'll feel insha'Allah

thanks sis for your help and everyone else for replying my post. may Allah reward you all. i have been forgetting little things like where i put things etc i have been reading books to keep my mind motivated you know.

just finished praying and got the pain again. im going straight to doctor 2morow. make dua for me won't you..

i just need the encouragement..and i got it. thanks alot.
