It occurs daily and then may stop for a few days. No disease. It last a few seconds then stops. I do have alot stress at work and seems to trigger when the tension gets high.

It appears that anxiety is the main cause for your symptoms. This may be a variant of Tension type headache.
I suggest you to start doing regular mental relaxation exercises like meditation or yoga.This is likely to improve your symptoms.
If these measures do not improve your symptoms,then you need to be put on medicines.However, for now,these lifestyle measures should be of help.
If you have further symptoms,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
