Hi, Anon.

Thank you for writing today.

Stabbing headaches, or “ice pick headaches”, are short, stabbing, extremely intense headaches that generally last only seconds. Stabbing headaches can be either:
“Primary”, meaning the headache itself is the problem or “Secondary,” meaning that there is an underlying cause or condition responsible for the headache.

See your doctor for an evaluation to find out exactly what is going on.
