Sometimes a specific injury can produce numbness or tingling, such as an injured nerve in your neck or a herniated disk in your spine. Placing pressure on a nerve is a common cause. Carpal tunnel syndrome, scar tissue, enlarged blood vessels, infection, or a tumor can all place pressure on a nerve.
The symptoms will vary from person to person and individuals may have different symptoms during different attacks. Your attacks may differ in length and frequency. Migraine attacks usually last from 4 to 72 hours and most people are free from symptoms between attacks.
The headache can last for years and almost every day for several hours. It should be noted that such a record is suspicious for a serious underlying cause (for example cancer) and only after testing and exclusion of any such possibility can the diagnosis lead to daily headaches. It is unknown what causes daily persistent headaches.
