Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
This description of symptoms correspond most likely to a condition known as ice pick headaches.
They are considered as primary headaches, or, in other words, without an underlying cause.
About half of cases are associated with migraines.
However, always an evaluation by your Doctor is necessary to confirm or exclude the diagnosis and to evaluate other possibilities.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
