What Causes Ice Pick Headaches?
Hello,
I think I have been suffering from an "ice pick headache" for the past 3 days and every time I get the same pang of pain in the exact same spot. I've read up on these... Actually came across some info on what these headaches were actually called. But from wheat I've read, most people don't suffer from these in the same exact spot. Is this normal??? I also read that it is a primary headache, but that pain in the same place could mean that it could be a secondary condition meaning that something may be triggering these pains. Should I be worried???
That skills for listening!

dear i would want your more detail history about the type of headache its duration, onset, aggravating and relieving factors your age? your family history however the information you have given me if there is any history of trauma or memory loss or visual blurring or vertigo or nausea vomiting or runny nose? you need to see your physician or neurophysician however it can be migranous and now very effective treatments are available for migraine which includes stabilizing your serotonin levels with the best option available is zoloft(serteraline) 50mg and pain management with nsaids like naproxen 550mg and also sumitriptan or zumitriptan for acute attacks. howevery if you want to get more guidance about your treatment plan you can email me on drmuddasar@gmail.com
