My dad has been complaining about a weird numbness or pressure sensation on the side of his head...?

Does he have dizziness, blurred vision, trouble speaking or understanding, trouble walking, numbness or weakness arms, leg (face you stated) especially one side of the body. The pressure he has is it like a sudden severe headache? If he has any of these other signs or symptoms get him to a hospital he could be having a stroke!

most likely its  a blood vessel breaking in your neck causing a flow of blood to the region... tingling. Or its a pinched nerve.

Yes, see a doctor or a chiropractor.  Numbness is often a sign of nerve problems, and problems with your neck can bother the nerves.

There are no exceptions!!!!!!!!!! You need to go to the nearest emergency room IMMEDIATELY!!!! You could be having heart failure, and facial numbness suggest the possibility of a stroke. WOULD YOU RATHER DIE AT 28 OR GO TO A FREAKIN DOCTOR? And..... I'm a Christian, too, but Jesus did not say to not seek medical attention! Pray and believe, but go, NOW! LOG OFF NOW, AND GET TO A HOSPITAL!

Call the hospital, darling. There could be something wrong with your father. And try to get him to stop drinking and smoking, that's probably what's effecting his heart. But you do need to call the doctor, NOW, if he's complaining of severe chest pains. Good Luck!

Has he had the doctors do X-rays to see if there is an underlying casue (degeneration of the discs, bukges, spurs etc??). Knowing what is causing the problems will go a long way to helping.\n\nAlso I think he should see a physiotherapist. My husband went to chiro's for years and the improvements wore off after a few days. He has been seeing a physiotherapist in recent times and his recovery from major painful incidents is much quicker and longer lasting. The benefit they have over chiro is that physio will help you to learn how to reatrin the muscles that support the spine. If the muscles are strong this will help take the pressure off the bones and share more of the workload.\n\nMy husband has also benefited from the following:\n\n*Changing jobs so he minimises heavy and repetitive lifting (I know this is not always possible)\n\n*When he does get major pain he will take anti-inflammatory drugs and lay as flat as possible all day. This will help rest the area.\n\n*We got a "memory foam" mattress overlay and a pillow. It gives more support to his back whilst sleeping.\n\n*Doing stretches and back exercises every day. The physio will be able to show your dad simple things he can do at home. Otherwise there are some great books out there.\n\n*Thinking before he lifts anything and then doing it is the safest way possible (ie lifting from the legs).\n\nUnfortunately back problems are one of those problems which can keep reccurring. Just when you think you have it under control, you do something silly and you are back to square 1. Good luck though for your dad, and help him out when he is in severe pain and make him rest.

Yeas, see a doctor pronto.  This is your body's way of saying "Hey, Mr. Brain isn't getting enough oxygen right now!".  Possible causes could be medication, hypotension, a blocked carotid artery, a serious heart condition, etc.  Only testing will tell!

go see a neurologist. get an mri scan. it could be nothing. it could be something. but don't take it casually. get in touch with your family physician and see if he can recommend a neurologist who could diagnose what you have.

my friend just recently had this problem, he went to his chiropracter who realigned his neck and waht not, he received a couple of massages over a couple different days and feels beeter.  he said the doctor used different pressure point and when the doctor pushed on the nerve that gave him the headache the doc was able to fix it.  i know this might not be much help, but i would reccopmend that since my fiend tried to to let it go and see if it would go away to no evail.

Sounds like you need a DR.,opinion not a bunch of strangers on a computer.I know someone with the same prob. except it's the whole left arm and hand.I guessed a nerve pinched off or maybe poor circulation, but hey I'm no DR.

Im not a doctor but it sounds like migraine.  Go see a doctor for professional advice.

There are no nerves in your brain, so it is not your actual brain. I would talk to a doctor if this is seriously bothersome.  My first thought was mini stroke or aneurysm

Could be something neurological--Go see a doctor, asap!  Best of luck!

Probably because a nerve is being pinched, but it could be something more serious. I think it would indeed be well to check with a physician. It is simply good sense.

gun to the head, but i suppose you like your husband. hot tea with no sugar with ground ginger in it. wet rag on the back of the neck, ice or heat(depending). soothing music. orchid by black sabbath over and over again works. passionflower and kava(i just took some) the popular advil, motrin, vicodin, etc. rubbing the temples and if you or he could massage the back of his neck and behind his ears. a good possibility that his back problems are causing this, or helping. go in to the doctor with your husband if thats not what the surgery's for, and have your husband explain his habits, where the pain is and how long and when these migraines occur
