Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to ice peak headache, which a benign type of headache. Trigeminal neuralgia or other types of neuralgia cannot be excluded too.
I would like to know the exact location of the pain? Is it triggered by eyes opening, eating or laughing?
I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam. A brain MRI and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate) are needed too.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Aida Quka
