Anyone have this when they are falling asleep..? It has only happened to me when I dose off into sleep. When it happens it’s so painful I can feel my heart rate drop. It’s like I’m being electrocuted on the underside of my tongue on the left side but it’s the worst pain ever and only happens when I fall asleep. Someone help ! What should I do it’s happened 6 Times so far and I’m scared
I have chronical rhinitis which give me a lot of sneezing. I want to know if it might be connected with rhinitus? I have a loss of taste and smell due to nasal polyps too.
Im having some 'shocks' when I speak...if I stay quiet I didnt notice, its like a 'shock' when I say the tonic syllabe. It didnt hurt but bother me, I'm beeing less sociable and anxious. Did anyone have experienced this?
I had this surgery done 39 years ago it fixed my excruciating pain in and behind my eye and head that no other option could solve. I did have numbness on the side of my head from ear back. It did not bother me just felt different. I’m grateful to have found a doctor and knew immediately what it was and suggested the surgery. Do your research and if you’ve tired all other options, find a dr. that your instincts tell you he knows what to do and he has thoroughly evaluated you to be a good candidate. I was told those headaches may return, so far 39 years clear! The onset of my pain were do to a car accident-whiplash.
I request to answer this problem I have been dealing with almost 20+ years. 1. Sometimes during journey, I get muscle tightness at back of head ( Not exactly back 2 inch above towards scalp). I cant say its headache but its totally different feeling and if I suddenly move my head right and left I feel something at back of my head moving parallely. 2. Over the period of time I got to know its triggers (a) via post lunch especially if I am not doing any work and resting myself in cushions. If I get into some physical work bit hard, then I dont experience it. (b) impropper posture by lying down resting my head towards wall ( I hv stopped completely) (c) Sudden unwanted stress. This case it goes away by trying to relax the muscle by pulling the muscles of ears ( without applying hands) though takes time So most of the time the nerve at back head become overreactive ( I dont know if its the perfect word). My life is hell. I tried explaining to many doctors but did not get any satisfactory answer. Over search, I found Migrane may be triggering this unwanted feeling at backhead. But I did not find any link between gastracid and this. I came accross Occipital nuralagia and think that its corelated. I cant call it a headace. During climbing stairs I used to feel a bulb is getting switch off and on when I get this problem.
Dr McLaughlin saved my life. He did a multi level fusion in my c spine. I'm 46 years old and still teaching Zumba and doing all of my daily activities like nothing ever happened. He's a miracle Doctor. Trust your spine to no other but Dr McLaughlin
3 months ago I was hit by a bus here in Australia and received a broken nose and broken right rib which have healed pretty well but I now live with electric tingling in my forehead and temple areas and pain behind my eyes and nose, also migraine pain , not sure if it is occipital or what but I did have a full body scan and brain CT which were all normal so it must be some type of nerve pain causing this or maybe radiating nerve pain from my neck being out of alignment.
I’m having terrible nerve pain today so I stayed home. It’s like a sharp pain behind my throat and it comes and goes about every 20 seconds it’s terrible. Tried taking Tylenol and ibuprofen but nothing is helping. If it keeps happening I don’t know if I will be able to sleep. Tried calling my doctor 3 times today no answer..
I've had it for 10 years. A couple of months after it started, I went to bed thinking my "worst migraine/headache ever" was a really severe sinus infection and woke permanently, irreparably legally blind- unable to navigate my item house even. I just now found out that I have occipital neuralgia. No one knew and it hasn't been treated this whole time, except pain and migraine meds. I also just found out, in three last 2 months, that I have EDS, HATS, And POTS, after a decade of misdiagnoses, unnecessary chemo, etc. Through my own research, I found that Occipital Neuralgia is linked to EDS and that my loss of vision is likely related. It hurts so badly that at various times I've wanted to gouge my eyes out, split my head open, and considered various ways to kill myself - all irrational, but during the height of the episodes, rational thinking wasn't a concern, finding any way to end the pain was. Do any of you have any suggestions for how I can get on the right track for getting some help with it? I currently have a PCP, Oncologist, Neurologist, Allergist, Gastroenterologist, and Ophthalmologist. None of them figured this out or have helped at all
Try dry needling, nerve block and physical therapy for correcting posture.Worked wonders for me.(I do too found it out myself and told my physical therapist.dealing with this for 8 years and man, now I feel %90 better) did you tried anything that worked out for you?

Be informed! Read this: “Implanted Spinal Cord Stimulators for Pain Relief: Illustrating the FDA’s Dangerously Lax Oversight of High-Risk Implantable Medical Devices” Public Citizen, June 2020 Michael A. Carome, M.D. -The report’s overarching observation in the conclusion on page 50: “Taken together, the observations summarized in this report demonstrate that there is NOT a reasonable assurance that implanted spinal-cord stimulators for pain relief…are safe and effective for their FDA-cleared or FDA-approved uses.” Read the full report at a Public Citizen
I’ve had this since I was like 14. I’m 22 now. Thankfully I’ve never had it very consistently. I get short episodes here and there. For me, the best way to describe it is it feels like an electric shock in the back of my throat right where my 9th cranial nerve would be. It’s never bothered me that much though. But it happens enough to where I just wanted to look it up to see what it was. Now I know. Lol
@@alirezafcb Usually the pain I feel is all the way in the back of my throat behind my tongue. Where, if I’m not mistaken, is close to where the 9th cranial nerve would be. Does it feel like an electric shock or stabbing pain when it happens to you?
I had this surgery 11-2014! Literally lifesaving! Thank u Dr. Nayar Georgetown Hospital in DC...I didn't think I was gonna make it thru that pain...God is so good
I am grateful to Dr itepu who used his herbal medicine to cure me after I suffer from hsv1&2 for years this great Dr Itepu has a the permanent cure to get rid of herpes virus.
It’s been my honor and absolute pleasure to have worked with Allison for many years at Princeton. She is an incredibly talented nurse and a tactical genius in utilizing and deploying equipment and supplies…she’s an asset to ANY staff who’s lucky enough to have her!!
I’m experiencing it right now and I’m a teenager. It’s so hard to eat and drink cause of the sharp pain whenever I swallowed something, or when I talk, laugh and yawn.
Was is like a sharp pain in the tongue and like comes in waves? What kind of pain in ear? The pains are brief and come in waves and hurt a shit ton lol
This sounds like what my 32 year old son has but constant. He is in process of having all his teeth removed. This pain started on one side of the throat and was in ear as well nHe then had teeth pulled in the front and pain moved to his face as well. He is a n constant pain!!! Drs checked for infection and can’t find anything. He went back to dentist who said he is healing nicely!!! The pain is now burning and he’s going out of his mind!!! He had anxiety problems which finally started to get better but now his anxiety is through the roof and he is back on meds for that now (before he took as needed). What kind of dr do we go to for this? I feel so horrible for him. It was bad enough seeing him go through this process of having teeth pulled. Now this 😥😥😥
Did you find out reason? I have constant tingling in ear, back of throat and tonsillar fossa region - and when I chew, talk or laugh, it becomes radiating pain. as well and no dental surgeries so far.
@@somebody701 the throat pain has gotten much better. Periodically it comes back but doesn’t seem to be as horrible. He still is going through the dental process. How are you doing?
I have been having this electric shock problem for over 5years now me my life has never been thesauruses it really pain it like something is piercing your head it like an electric shock very painful what should I do please help
hey i just have to tell you, i just watched this video four times during my lunch break in a case, went back to the room to drape the micro and got it first time. thanks man.
I watched this video and did a little more digging into the subject to the point that I decided I simply had to purchase a 3D model brain...those ain't cheap! The struggles of being a nerd.
I got diagnosed last year at the age of 27, but onset of disease was 26. It can happen to anyone at any age, but people between the ages of 40 and 60 seem to be more susceptible. I got it from a double ear infection that lasted 5 months despite heavy antibiotics. It’s just that it’s a very deep nerve that’s harder to affect than more common neuropathic facial pain disorders like Trigeminal Neuralgia. GPN is an awful condition. Living with it alongside living with the horrible side effects of the medications used to treat it is quite a chore. I wish you luck if you are a teenager living with the possibility of having this disease.
@@samaraarroyo2787 I’m actually doing okay, but it’s because my neurologist and I have found a combination of medications that are helping. I take a tricyclic antidepressant called Clomipramine and Gabapentin. Tricyclic antidepressants are a last resort because the side effects (especially in the first 12 weeks) can be pretty hard to live with. I am now living with medication-induced depression, but another medication is treating that pretty well. My mouth is very dry, and now I’m dealing with insomnia. But the GPN pain is much less extreme. It’s a balance between quality of life (the horrible side effects) and pain management. While the side effects are major, I would much rather have them than constant GPN pain.
@@vixenrevitup have you looked into MVD surgery? I’m so sorry you’re going through this, I feel miserable myself. Too scared of medication but if I must take it then I will. What were your symptoms? I feel mines atypical
