I'm glad to hear that you are not worrying
about dying; however, you should still
seek the medical advice from a doctor.
The changes with your eyes concern me. My
pain is almost gone. I've found that it
occurs most often when I am under stress.
I never experienced vision or dizziness
problems. Your pain may also be stressed
induced; however, I would still suggest
you see a doctor to rule out anything else
that may be going on.

These are typical symptoms of
migraines...
A few symptoms of migraines are:
Pounding, throbbing, on one or both sides
of the head.
Dizziness.
Stomachaches.
Nausea and/or vomiting.
Seeing spots or halos.
Sensitivity to light, noise, and/or
smells.
The cause for all of these things is the
constricting and unconstricting of the
blood vessels that are on the outside of
the skull.(scalp)
As far as the visuals, when there is not
enough blood and oxygen getting to the
blood vessels in your eye(because vessels
are constricted), you get what are called
halos. The halos are visual
disturbances.(spots, blurs, blind spots,
zigzags, and things of the sort)
While the head pains I am experiencing are
not quite as intense as a migraine, any
headache is caused by the same
constrictions/unconstrictions, I could
also be densitized to headaches. The
reason being that I suffer from allergy
and weather induced headaces.
Knowing this, I am not so worried anymore.
But if any of you have any advise still, I
would be more than greatful to hear it.
Thanks mzlizzi, and koa as well!

Same Kind of Pain Posted: 06-06-07 14:19pm
Hi, i'm nick and i'm 16 years old.
Recently i've been experiencing these
short bursts of mild pain in the left side
of my head. I hurt my back a few days ago,
although it is better i still can't bend
it all the way.. does this have something
to do with the pain? Also i have been
under stress since me and my mother are
moving. Anyway, the pain seems to come at
night more than anything, i plan on going
to our doctor but i was just wondering if
this could be the same kind of "ice pick"
headache. Let's hope.

Hey E.
As a child, I used to have such headaches
that I remember tying belts around my head
to relieve the pressure.
Now, my headaches, come in form of "hang
overs" Coffee, chocolate, alcohol; thank
God,' not drugsl Although, I did like
smoking pot in H.S. BUT...that's brain
deadining!
Think about yourself! Eat healthy, drink
juices and water and exercise!
If that fails.....Than go to A Doctor.
YOU CAN DO IT!

Going to the Doctor is the best thing to
do if your not sure about where the
problem stems from.
Getting an M.R.I. or Cat Scan is a great
idea either way to ease your mind and take
away your worries.
I've never had either procedure done so
I'm not sure about the details.
Take Care!

Sharp Pains Posted: 01-14-08 06:53am
Hey, there. I am 13 years old and
experiencing the sharp pains too. My
mother is bringing me to the doctor
tomorrow to find out what's wrong with my
head. I have the random sharp pains in my
right side of my head where there is a
bump (which I don't know why is there) but
I don't know if there is anything to do
it.
Do you think it's something bad? It's
because I get really paranoid and I
couldn't sleep well last night as I kept
thinking that I was experiencing cancer. I
hope the doctor provides me good news.
Wish me luck! But... is it the same thing?

Same But Different Posted: 02-08-08 00:37am
Hello all. I'm reading a lot of these
posts and see that most of you speak of
pain in the left rear side of your head.
Well, mine is at the top right side of my
head. It really worries me. I distinctly
remember my first time feeling them
because it was just minutes after I first
came under fire in Iraq some three years
ago. The pain is so intense that there is
no controlling it. As a natural reaction,
I immediately stop what I'm doing and grab
that area of my head. As far as I know
nothing triggers it. I can just be
walking along, happy, sad, stressed,
unstressed, and BAM, it just happens. It
lasts a couple of seconds and then
disappears. Sometimes I won't have
another one for a couple of months, and
sometimes I could have another one as
early as a few hours or days. It's really
puzzling. I've been to countless military
doctors who claim that they have no
earthly idea what it may be or what kind
of condition I'm speaking of. I fear that
it's an aneurysm. I fear that it's a
tumor. The pain is so intense, and I'm
only 28 years old. It's really
discouraging to have doctors say that
something so painful and potentially
serious is nothing. The day I fear is the
day the pain lasts for an hour instead of
a couple of seconds and kills me. I feel
as if it's a ticking time bomb inside of
my head that nobody, at least not in the
military arena, can help me with. Some of
your posts have been educational. I also
saw something on ER about this same
condition. In that episode, it turned out
that these pains were being triggered by
pain elsewhere in the body. For instance,
the patient had a herniated disc in his
back, and when his pain was at its worst
he would get sharp stabbing pains in his
head that lasted for seconds. Who knows
what it is. But something I do know is
that it's totally alarming to know that
the people who hold the positions to help
and who have been educated for several
years about the human anatomy have no clue
what this is.

I know this is an OLD topic but... Posted: 02-28-08 17:45pm
I know this is somewhat old but I am
looking for: diana12, I have the very very
same symptoms as her/him and wanted to
know if she/he found anything out about
it.
I have had a CT, nothing ... been to 3
different docs and all say idopathic ice
pick headaches but the last one told me if
it has a big name they just really dont
know whats wrong (which was not giving me
a warm cozy feeling.)
I googled my head pains and found this
site along with links to brain anyurisims
(however you spell that).
diana12 are you still around?

Non-stop Pain for 3 Days Posted: 04-11-08 09:47am
Soldier Boy,
I too am having sharp pains in my right
temple. I experienced these pains several
weeks ago, but only had them a few times.
Now, for the past 3 days, I have had them
non-stop for 24 hrs. They come about
every 15-30 seconds and last for 2-5
seconds. I have taken Advil and even the
Tylenol PMs to get some rest, but as soon
as I awake they are there, which tells me
they never left. I also experienced some
fever and backache for the last couple of
days so I thought it was a flu virus, but
I don't think so anymore.

Head Problems Posted: 05-03-08 22:18pm
Hey, I have been experience something
similar to this. I seem to have a lot of
head problems... this can include head
migraines that are unbearable to the point
that i am almost puking, with sweats and
everything. On top of that, everytime i
remotely bend over, or lay on my stomach
with my head up, my head pounds. I also
have sharp back pains in my upperback.
Above all, i get a shard pain in the right
side of my head by my temple every now and
again and i get sharp pains in the upper
left hand side of my head as well. im
really worried and am looking forward to
talking to my doctor about it, it should
happen on or around may 22nd.

I am so glad it's not just me Posted: 06-21-08 00:32am
I have been having sharp pains on the rear
left side of my head for the last 6 months
on a daily basis. We (my husband and I)
chalked mine up to sleep deprivation at
first because I am a full time student and
I work a full time job at night. We are
now rethinking this due to the fact that
the last few headaches I had like this
caused nosebleeds. I have been to the
doctor and had every one of the tests
listed in other posts and they have
diagnosed it as everything from sinus
infections to dehydration headaches. Has
anyone else been to the doctor and found
out anything more useful than what the
quacks here are telling me? I hope so
because they seem to be getting worse and
the last one hit as I was driving and they
are blindingly painful.
