Have Stab Sensation In The Skull. Feels Like Small Object Are Piercing. Have Stress In The Job. Suggestions?

Is this legit? If so, here goes: for the past couple months that i've noticed, i've experienced a "stab" sensation in the same spot, on the top right side of the skull. i doesn't hurt *too* bad, but it is definitely noticeable. It feels as if a small sharp object is piercing my head, or sometimes just like there is something heavy resting in that spot. It comes and goes but lasts several minutes to an hour when it is present. it does not happen every day.

I'm a somewhat active 28 year old white male, with a fair amount of stress at my job.

Neurologist 's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I would like to reassure you that your symptoms do not suggest any serious underlying brain disease.
These could be related to your stress. In addition, we need to exclude a vitamin B12 deficiency.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
