What causes burning and tingling sensation in head?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am an 18-year-old girl and I have been having weird sensations in my head over the last four months, it is a really weird feeling as if my head is burning and sometimes I feel a cold spot over my head with tingling. I do not even know if I can identify it as pain but it is driving me nuts. It is not constantly in one place but it kind of goes over my head and sometimes over my eyes and I can feel it in my temples too.

Sometimes, it feels as if I have electricity in my head. It gets so much worse when I lack sleep and whenever it hurts too much I cannot really sleep. I went to a neurologist and had an MRI section and it was all good. I have a very sound and healthy brain. The doctor said it is anxiety and gave me anti-depressants but honestly, I am not anxious at all. It is my head that is making me so and all the medications are doing nothing but make me pity myself more and the pain is not going away at all. I do not know what to do and no one believes that I am actually feeling so they all think I am doing it for attention but I cannot really take it anymore. Please help.
