What is the cause of the stabbing pain in the temple

The temple is a very important acupuncture point, but this place may also experience tingling due to various reasons. In daily life, I believe many people have experienced tingling in the temples, which require rubbing with both hands to improve the situation. If you experience frequent tingling in your temples, you should actively look for the cause and take precautions at the root cause. So, what is the cause of the tingling in the temple? Let’s take a closer look below.

1. Sleep factors cause temple pain

This is a common cause of temple pain, which is caused by severe lack of sleep. Because sleep allows the brain to get effective rest. If the brain does not get enough rest for a long time and is always in a high-load working state, temple pain will naturally occur.

2. Dietary factors cause temple pain

Improper diet can also cause temple pain. For example, being hungry every day or eating late, and drinking too much coffee can cause blood vessels to be stimulated, leading to temple pain. You may also feel a headache when you eat ice cream that is too cold; after drinking too much, the ethanol in the alcohol acts on the blood vessels and also causes a headache. These are all headaches caused by improper diet.

Experts have calculated that the foods that are likely to induce headaches are: chocolate, alcoholic beverages, raw dairy products, lemon juice, cheese, and red wine.

3. Neuropsychiatric factors cause temple pain

Temple pain is mostly related to mental factors, such as highly stressful study and work. When the body and mind are adversely stimulated by the external environment, emotions such as worry and anxiety often arise, leading to the onset of temple pain. According to a survey, 84% of depression patients suffer from migraine symptoms. At the same time, when you encounter various unpleasant things in life or work, or intense emotional stimulation such as anger, anxiety, excitement, etc., you will feel general discomfort and pain in the temples.

4. Disease factors cause temple pain

Many diseases can cause temple pain, such as colds and fevers, problems with the five senses, anemia, poisoning, fatigue, abnormal blood pressure, etc. Various causes of inflammation and injury inside and outside the skull can cause headaches; compression by tumors that causes vascular traction, stretching, displacement, and expansion; irritation of the meninges; muscle contraction; direct stimulation of the sensory nerves that control the head and face, etc.
