Do this breathing exercise with concentration and with eyes closed, and this will help with the head pain.The extra oxygen going into the brain will help.The effect is gradual, so be patient and allow a few weeks to see the benefit. Come back to report your progress.

I am having the same problems. Severe shooting/stabbing pains in the left hand side of my head along the top of my head. They are random at times and the stabbing lasts for a second then goes away. It will last for several hours at a time. Sleep does usually help, but if I have to be up and about, the pain is quite severe.
Im not a doctor but a similar thing happened to me last year. i think your experiencign migrains. A migrain is a sever pain in a specific location of the brain (diff for most people) for me it happened in my visual cortex and i was experiencing HUGE blindsots and things. i was quite worried. Doc told me to just sleep it off, first checking with nerologists. Id go to the doctor but i think its just a migrain
