Hey so I’m 13 and I get “head pain” for 5-30 seconds around 6-8 times a day. Other then that I feel normal. My stomach does kinda hurt right now but I’m not losing my appetite. Should I worry about a brain tumor if I feel fine 98% of the day. Could these be muscle spasms? Thanks

    The only one that could tell you for sure is a doctor. However everyone has nerves in their entire body and sometimes when a nerve gets pinched or something it can sometimes feel like an electrical shock or dull pain. Or could be something like an ice pick headache. Millions of people around the world get have this problem. It usually goes away after a while. Mine did. But there are factors to. Such as are you staying hydrated and certain foods can bring on these things as well as caffeine. But it is always best to check with a doctor i can only share my experiences.

      Yes at one point I would get random pains for a minute and then they would go. Unfortunately I did develop iih about 4 years ago. However I'm in my 30s so a lot older than you. Check with your doctor but I think you'll be ok.

      Thanks. I found out that they could be something called brain zaps. My dad is a cancer doctor and says I have nothing to worry about but he doesn’t really understand my head pain symptom.
