Hello -
Recently I have noticed a weird, stabbing pain on the right side of my head, above my eye that feels rather internal. The pain is sometimes on the left side too, but the pain I feel on the right is very strange. It feels like an ice-pick, but a blunt one. I have suffered with headaches in the past, particularly migraines after straining my eyes for too long but it was never a pain that I feel right now. It is blunt, intense and lasted 4 seconds and happens in the same spot all the time without any warning.
I do work in front of a computer screen for a substantial amount of time however I have never experienced anything like it in the past. It started about three weeks ago. I went in for an eye test the other day and there were no clinical changes and my eyes were healthy after she checked the inside of my eyes. I eat well and keep myself hydrated so I am unsure what can cause this. I sometimes sit funny on a sofa that is not the most comfortable in all honesty and comes from the 1920s so I try to blame the random attacks on sitting weird but the pain is still unusual to me.
I do not have any other symptoms, I am not sensitive to light or anything but being a hypochondriac and suffering from anxiety, anything can mimic symptoms which will make me even more anxious.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
