Does anyone have problems with small shot lived head ach? When I do something like bending over or taking a poop. I get a feeling that goes up my spine then in to the back of my neck. when it gets to my head I get the boom boom head ach. It is short lived last only a few seconds but man it makes me so tired with in 30min to hour. I have to lay down and sleep to get more energy or to be able to do anything. My boyfriend thinks that I am just crazy that a little head ach is not making me that tired. So am I just crazy and just out of shape and lazy or does anyone else have this problem?
On another note does anyone get sweats all over there body. I call it insta-sweat.
Whip vine, the headache you are describing sounds like the valsalva maneuver headache very common with Chiari. You are definitely NOT crazy! It is very painful.
I couldn't really put it into words what it feels like but I think you head it on the head.( no pun intended) lol. That is what it is like to me but I would add a fire-like burn at the base of my skull at the same time that the pounding is going on. Like how a wasp stings burn feels like. then it just goes away. Sometimes after that happens my hole body feels like I stuck my finger in a light socket, that is when I know that I need to lay down and take a nap. I will let him see your reply but I don't know how much that would do. Thanks now I have a better description of how it feels.
If you have shock sensation with this please advise your Dr as this can indicated brain stem involvement. I get these headaches to, short lived... my daughter does as well and she has syncopal episodes (Vasco vagal).
The brain basically gets jammed up temporarily, like a cork, causing headaches and faintness. My daughter sweats too. You are definitely not alone!
