Mind pulses, head zaps?

Thu, 03/03/2005 - 07:47
Every few months, my husband has something happen where it's like he feels pulses in his head that interupt his concentration. they only last about 2 seconds but can happen every minute or two. This lasts about 5 days before it goes away. He has not had a major seizure for about 7 years, so he is very fortunate, but we're concerned about these "head zaps" and the doctor doesn't really seem to know what to tell him. He just increased his meds. Sometimes it happens when life is stressful and sometimes it just happens, so we don't know if it is really related to stress. Has anyone else ever had this happen?

I can understand how it could confuse the two of us. Tell ya what-I won't let on that I'm not you and maybe it'll leave you alone. Or are you me since I'm you?

Well, let's see...since we both have the zaps in the back of the head and on the top of the head, they could be mine or they could be yours...but the ear zaps you can have back.Hey have you been getting a weird sensation in your lips? Almost a vibration, but not quite? slightly more than a tingle?
