Pains at the base of my skull on the left side, sharp pains they don't last long

I've been having sharp pains at the base of my skull on the left side, they don't last long but they are very sharp, what can this be? Haven't had them long, but I was having sharp pains on the same side but on my neck last week,felt like a sharp pulsing pain, but now it's behind my left ear down at the base of my skull

Well, it is hard to say.  We do have a lot of musculature in our skull and behind our ears and it can get tight.  Did you have any type of hit to the head?

No no hit to the head, the pain is sharp and it's like I can feel my heart beat in the pain when I feel the pain, if that makes sense
