shooting pains in head

Hi all just a quick question does anybody suffer with shooting pains in there head ? For the last 6 months or maybe more I have been suffering with sharp shooting pains in my head its not headache its just shoots of pain that last a few seconds that come and go . I can feel fine then bam it shoots across my left side and is so painful it puts me on my knees . As the months have gone on its getting more and more painful and more often . It is really starting to scare me , has anybody else suffered with this ? Thanks x x

Hi kissy,

I get these a lot.

I call them “thunderbolts” and they’re agony!

Like you, I only experience the pain for seconds at a time - excruciating.

I’ve been told they are an ms symptom, but nothing to worry about!
