"Electric Shock" type pain in my scalp!

Mine don’t happen 2 or more times in a row mine happens when I turn my head too fast. But if it’s the same type I feel. I’m so sorry dude. The only way I can reduce it is by turning my head slowly I’ve been trying to ask doctors about it but they don’t understand what I’m trying to say.

@tobias02-
Don’t expect doctors to listen too much.
You most likely have some irritation at the occipital muscle causing nerve irritation that runs up the scalp.
In a clinical setting this would be diagnosed as cervicogenic genie headache.
You don’t need any fancy name. Tight traps/neck muscles that tighten your occipital muscles that then irritate the nerves.
Work with a PT. Posture, tech neck, and overall stress on the neck.
It’s very common. What’s also very common, doctors not being in tune beyond a diagnosis code they can bill your insurance for a 15 minute visit and send you out the door
