Is an ice pick head ache something to be seriously worried about?

It's only happened to me once, but it was pretty scary and I was wondering if I should have it checked out right away.. or only if it continues. I hear some ppl get these consistently, howw do you stand it!? Also, it was on top of my head, not through the ear like my moms.

    i think i know what you're talking about. does anyone else sometimes get it on one side of the back of the head? like behind the ear above the neck?

    It could literally be anything. Don't worry about it for now...but if it happens again find a family doctor or even stop by an urgent care place. It could be your eyes, your jaw...wayy to many causes. I know I get migraines that make me throw up when my hormones are off-kilter.

    Migranes and cluster headaches are caused by spasms of the blood vessels and nerves in your brain. Sexual or athletic headache is caused by increases in blood pressure when exercising or exerting yourself. When these blood vessels pop, it becomes an anyeresum. Try relaxing your neck and facial muscles, and regulating your blood pressure. Keep a diary of what is going on when it happens and try to figure out what is triggering these headaches.

    its a shooting pain in your head, it only last about a couple seconds but its pretty painful and kinda scary. made my eyes water instantly.
