weird feeling in my head

so i have been having different symptoms for a while now, every time i see a doctor they say i am alright.

for past month or so i have been having weird feeling in my head, it last for a few seconds and then usually goes to another part of my head, last a few seconds, it might last all together a few minutes, then stops till the next time. i also have some pain either in my eyes or behind, shortness of breath, and sometimes a feeling like a pulled muscle in my back.

i am afraid it is cancer, is there anything else it could be?

You say a weird feeling but you never explained what sort of weird feeling? Is it pain, dizziness, you feel as if you are not there or that what is happening is not affecting you or you kind understand. How long does the feeling last?

It is highly unlikely cancer but it could be something else, also serious.

Tell me, please, what kind of doctors you saw, and what kind of tests you had!

It would be also good if you explained the exact feeling, when it usually happens, if anything aggravates it and anything else that you find appropriate or related to the problem.
I think you need to see either a psychiatrist or neurologist. These kind of doctors could help you the most. However, I don’t know if you need a referral from your GP. How old are you anyway?

The only thing that comes to my mind is a migraine but they usually last for at least 4 hours up to a couple of days.
Can you anticipate the situation the pain would appear? You never said how old you were, so…..migraines could appear in infants as well but usually start at the age of ten or 40 and are more common in women than in men. Symptoms may differ a little bit in adolescents and adults. In adolescents and children, the pain/headache appears on both sides while adults may feel it in either one or both sides.

Usually, a person can feel that the migraine is coming. A child or an adolescent may start yawning, become sleepy, start craving for chocolates, sugar, bananas. Adults experience similar ‘warning’ signs.

Migraines are not limited just to headaches; they may cause a whole lot of other symptoms like pulsating or throbbing head-pain, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea with/out vomiting, pain that worsens with physical activity, lightheadedness, etc

Do you have a family history of migraines?

A doc may decide to perform a vision test, CT head scan, MRI to look at your internal organs and brain to rule out any underlying condition.

Did you have an appointment with your family doc again? Any news?

Hi, I was looking for some help regarding a strange pain in my head, and found this site. I also have a pulsing type pain in my left side of my head, about 2 inches behind my ear. The area of pain is about one square inch and it comes and goes. This pain started in the morning and it lasts only about few seconds and goes away for few minutes after which it resumes. It sort of echos like small waves, so it would cover an area of one to two square inches. Today the pain has been going on for about six hours intermittently. I took a nap thinking that this could solve the problem, but it did not help. In addition, if I press hard enough on that area of my head it feels a bit tender on the exterior.
Thank you for your time.
