Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I think you are suffering Ice-pick headache.
It is one of common Primary headache.
It is a sharp , stabbing, excruciating intense painful headache lasts for few to 30 seconds only.
It is more common in migraine patients.
It can go even before you take medicine.
Some people need NSAIDS to prevent headache.
So do not get worried.
It is better to consult one Neurologist and imaging of brain to avoid unnecessary tension.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
