brain nerve pain - #18870

Rian

I am seriously confused and kinda worried about this brain nerve pain thing I've been dealing with. It started a few weeks ago, I was just sitting at my computer, and bam! I felt this weird sharp pain that shot through my head, like an electric jolt. At first, I thought it was just a headache or something, but the brain nerve pain has gotten worse. I've been getting these weird tingling sensations too, mostly on one side of my forehead and it makes me feel like I'm losing my mind wondering what it could be. I even went to my doc, and they said it might be neuralgia but didn’t run any tests. They just told me to take some ibuprofen and rest! I mean, it sounds simple, but this brain nerve pain is so distracting, it’s affecting my work and sleep. I’m also a bit concerned because sometimes I get these moments of dizziness, like my vision is flickering for a split second whenever the pain hits. Should I push for more tests or a second opinion? Is this normal? Has anyone else dealt with this brain nerve pain and found some relief? I just want to understand what’s going on.
