Brief Answer:
Ice pick headaches may be a possible condition.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
It depends on duration of headaches, if they last few seconds to one minute, ice pick headaches should be considered.
If longer in duration and other accompanying symptoms such vision issues, nausea, vomitng etc. migraines should be considered too.
However, stress also may result in atypical headaches so, getting evaluated by a Doctor ( primary care Doctor first ) is necessary to understand better the condition.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Kind regards.
