Weird headache help

[Scared99]

I know I have severe health anxuety so I'm going to reach out to all of you before I google. My concern just started this morning. Yesterday I had a weird sharp pain in my left temple. It's a quick sharp stab that lasts a few seconds and vanishes. It started yesterday and it came and went all day. It comes in waves. I think I made it about 6 hours without it and right before bed I got a wave of them. This morning I woke up with a few waves and it had been coming and going every hour and a half or so. I have no other symptoms. Are these headaches normal? My fear is brain tumor and I'm doing my best to avoid typing that into google !

Hi,

I have had these before....like sharp, electric shock type pains in the temple that are fleeting, then go. I find that i get them when I am overtired, stressed, anxious, etc. more so than normal.

It is just another one of the weird headache type things that one can get, and is called an Ice Pick headache.

Thank you debs! I have had something similar before. A very painful sharp jolt usually behind my eye. I don't think I ever had them occur for an entire day. I am glad I did not Google brain tumor!

This is what I've started experiencing. They go into my ear and are always down the left side and f my head. I'll get them on and off throughout the day and then they will disappear for months. I'll also get a dull head in the same areas. Freaks me out!
