What Causes Pinpoint Headaches?
I get pinpoint headaches. They re headaches in just one tiny certain spot, it s often either on the left side of the back of my head, or around the right side of my head. I don t have any sensitivity to light or impaired vision. I just get a pain in one certain spot, and it goes away in about 10-15 seconds I suppose.

Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.
I have read your query.
In your case, ice pick headaches is a condition to consider.
It is considered a primary headache ( i. e. with no underlying causes ), and it is considered difficult to treat since it may happen in every time and lasts very short.
So, don't worry much more than necessary about it.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
