Could Sharp Pain In Temporal Area Of Head Be Due To Stress?

I am under much stress and I have been having sharp pain in the right temporal area of head. No blurred vision or no problem with speech. It last a few seconds and I have noticed often in the last week. Could this be just stress?

Yes my dear, this could well be due to stress. But there could be other things like temporal arteritis, migraine & the likes. So best is to start some low dose anxoliolytic and get an ESR test of the blood done.
