Sharp pains in my skull and headache Posted: 02-12-08 22:59pm
For about 7 days now I have had this
headache that will last for at least 5
hours or so a day. Sometimes I get this
shooting pain in my head, usually at the
back of my skull that starts from the
center of my head and goes left or center
to the right. This has never happened to
me before. I have an identical twin who
randomly complained to me the other day of
having the same shooting pains in the
exact same spot as me, though she did not
have a headache. What could be causing
this? We are both big worriers and have
been under a lot of stress lately, could
this be contributing to this problem? I am
24 years old, and never had any other
health issues before.

Yes, I do believe that stress can
exacerbate symptoms of headaches. Maybe
try an exercise that required deep
breathing to both oxygenate your system
and relax your mind!
