Right so this is weird.
So I have this striking pain that lasts about a second happening every 5-10 seconds it feels like electric shocks that actually makes me cringe when it strikes. I have felt the area and its not sore to the touch.
The pain is behind my ear so where the top tip of the ear is its in my head in that area.

Im freaking out as thinking its a stroke or blood clot!! No too afraid to sleep tonight incase I die in my sleep!!
Anyone had this before?

You could have slept wrong, twisted your neck the wrong way, anxiety, panic attacks can cause that as well, though if you're freaking out about it the best thing to do is call your doctor.

Could be a head zap or anything.

If it gets worse then call 111

I really don't think it is anything serious.

Thanks. The nurse said I need to see my GP within 3 days. Could be trapped nerve pain or neuralgia or injury from coughing as i have been coughing terribly from a cold. My anxiety is getting the better of me now convinced I have a numb face! Hate this! Have to think logically I guess if it was something serious I wouldn’t be typing on here :)

It could also be a bit of peripheral neuropathy, I get this from time to time, not serious but can last a few weeks.

I have to see the GP this morning and they are quite confident it is a type of nerve pain ie neuralgia - given me some tablets but if the pain gets worse or starts affecting my speech or vision I need to go to A&E.
