I felt a slightly sharp pain in my head, upper left last night. it lasted about 1 minute and then was gone. I slept fine, swam this morning, nothing. Today at work it came back. Not as sharp but seems to come and go. Very odd and scary. thanks. Carol Curley
Hello ! I understand your concern. In my opinion this may be a headache type called Primary stabbing Headache, also called Ice peak headache.  It is more common in persons suffering from Migraine. A trigeminal neuralgia should also be excluded. There is nothing you should worry about. This type of headache doesn't have any serious underlying cause. I would recommend treatment with Indomethacine suppository twice daily for some days. It is helpful in preventing the attacks. If the problem persists a brain MRI would be helpful to rule out any possible cause. Hope to have been helpful! Thank you for using Chat Doctor! Best wishes,
