Could Sharp Pain In Head Be Related To Redness Of Eyes?

I have a sharp pain that feels like a needle pricked me in the head and also my left eye is red and watery. The pain comes and goes and can last for a few seconds but it literally feels like someone pricked me with a needle, also my eyes are a little red.

Hi,

If your headache is short lasting and unilateral than along with this conjuctival redness and lacrimation like cranial autonomic symptoms suggestive towards trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia. It could be from conjunctivitis or viral infection induce headache also. Your blood pressure should be checked and detail history taken along with CBC for initial work up.

If TAC is suspected than sumatriptan can be prescribed for that For viral induced congestion, decongestant like phenylephrine can be prescribed. Consult a physician for examination and accordingly get your prescription. Avoid stress, hypoglycemia, irregular meal and lack of sleep.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
