Electric shock feeling in my head...

Thu, 10/06/2011 - 00:14
Ever since I was little, I've gotten this like sharp lightning bolt of pain in my head, and it makes my tongue curl and my whole head kind of numb. It only lasts a second and it feels like a shock, but it only happens like every other month or so. Is there anyone else who has this sort of thing? It feels like half of my face is paralyzed for just a millisecond.
