Strange head pain
by redhead700, Nov 05, 2009 06:48PM
I have had stabbing pain on the upper right side of my head (right on the top of my head) in a small
circle spot about the size of a cup opening, sharp stabs of pain, my right eye bothers me with sore
ness and it almost feels like my right side of my throat seem like it not just right, If i turn my head
sharply a stab of pain will hit that one spot in my head, and every so often, Im just still there and
bam there's a stab on pain in that one spot in my head. This seems to have started over the last
couple of weeks. My nose pains or is sore on the right side up near my eye but if this was just
sinuses, why the stabing pain.

How are you? Can you elaborate on the stabbing character of your headache? Is this different from the throbbing/ pulsating characteristic of migraine? A typical migraine attack presents with a pulsating quality and pain that worsens with any physical activity.
Nausea with or without vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound. Auras can include changes to your vision, such as seeing flashes of light, and feeling pins and needles in an arm or leg.
On the other hand, Ice pick headaches are sharp stabbing, intensely painful headaches. They typically are very short, lasting between 5 and 30 seconds and can cause short-term disability. This type of headache is more likely to occur in people with migraine or cluster headaches. Over-the-counter pain medications may help. However, if it persists, have this evaluated further by your doctor for proper management. Take care and best regards.
