Hello dear,
I can understand your concern.You are apparently having a severe episodic hemicranial headache,stabbing in character.Most likely cause is migraine.Migraine is characterised by throbbing(pulse like),unilateral(on one side of head) headache which is associated with nausea,visual aura(like seeing flashing zig-zag lights),increases on exposure to bright light or sound.Alternatively it can be some other type of primary headache like paroxysmal hemicrania or hemicranial headache secondary to some intracranial lesion.Please visit a physician,so that he takes a proper history and examination to establish your diagnosis.I hope it helps.
