I'm a 31-year-old guy and I've been experiencing sharp pains in my head since this morning. The pain keeps shifting around to different areas like the back, upper side, left side, and even onto my face and shoulders. It's really got me worried. What could be causing these random, pinching pains, and should I be concerned?

Is there any homeopathic treatment for hydrocephalus that can avoid surgery I'm really worried about surgical options and looking for alternatives that might help manage this condition

hydrocephalus is a condition in which the fluid in the brain increases so much so that it presses on the brain tissue. if the pressure keeps on increasing, a lot can go wrong. the increase in the fluid can be due to over production or due to inefficient drainage. the only available treatment is by shunting which is done by surgery by inserting a shunt. you should undergo surgery ASAP. to avoid complications. no other treatment is available in any form of medicine.
