HI

I am having strange symptoms, sharp electrical type shocks in the night which wakes me up on the right side of my tongue, I have also had this week sharp pains in my right ear.

Anyone had anything similar?

Thank you

Hi littleone88.

Unfortunately I haven't found out what is going on yet. I went for a nap yesterday afternoon and had the same thing again. An electrical shock like pain down the middle of my tongue which has left a sore feeling at the front of my tongue.

Do you have any other symptoms like tiredness?.

I have read it could be a trapped nerve in my head. It is concerning.

I would appreciate letting me know if you find out what is wrong or if you have it again, I will do the same.

Thanks for replying.

Take care.

Yeah that’s how mine started. Electric pain and then since a sore tip of my tongue.

Ii have been GP About it and she has referred me to a neurologist at hospital but unsure on how long the wait is going to be.

Of course ii have googled and everything tht comes up is to do with nerve problems. Which isn’t good.

Yeah ii am tired a lot but ii also have a toddler tht keeps me up thru the night so Duno it I’m tired due to that.

My tongue feels swollen. Like it’s now to big for my mouth and very painful ☹️

Thanks for the reply. Ii will keep u updated.

Brilliant let me know how it goes Monday. In the mean time ii hope u find some ease in ur pain.

Ii have taken a couple of cocodamol to see if it ease the pain.

Try not to worry I’m sure Us worrying causes the pain to feel worse.

HI Littleone 88

Hope you are well.

Sorry for the delay in replying.

I have now spoken to my doctor who has E Mailed the Neuro department to ask there advice.

I have received a letter from them already saying that these electric shock symptoms sometimes have no diagnosise, that they just happen. They would like to do an MRI scan to make sure nothing is presing on a nerve.

I can't have an MRI asd I suffer with coslophobia but am hoping a CT scan will do the same thing. The hospital should call me this week with a date for the scan.

Take Care

HI Little One 88

You are welcome.

Yes fingers crossed for us both. One thimg I did forget to say that they did mention ptting me on nerve pain pain killers. I have refused these at the moment as it is not that often. I did after the sharp pains last night in one episode and 3 shock pains.

Lets hope we get a result soon and good news.

I will keep in touch!

Take care

Hi to you both. Please do not be afraid to try different medications for nerve pain if the pain gets too bad as they could change your life for the better. My advice would be to start with the lowest dose possible for 6-8 weeks. My sharp (and sometimes constant but duller) pains are caused by trigeminal nerve in my cheek, basically the upper left side of my face. Neuro agreed with GP to keep me on Amitriptyline (25-100mg) to help calm and control it. Still get occasional breakthroughs like this week but it helps knowing we are not alone.

That is trigeminal neurologia. Stop eating food which make your blood and organ heated.spicy,acidic and chiken and meat will make this condition worse.try to eat food who has more cooler effect in our body organ.like coconut water and some fruit and salad.
