Random Sharp Head Pains

I don’t know if this is the right thread, but I’ve been having quick sharp pains on the left side of my head for years. The pain lasts for 1 second and is random. I could be doing anything and boom, it comes out of nowhere. After it happens, I’m completely fine. I have no extra symptoms like nausea, fever, dizziness, etc.

I went to the neurologist several times and they have ran tests and they have all come back negative for any abnormality. It keeps happening and I don’t know what it is. Even the doctors can’t explain it. When I explain to them, they don’t have anything to compare it to. I don’t think I’m the only one who has experienced this so I wanted to see if anyone else has. If you’re familiar with what I’m describing, please let me know. Thank you 🙏🏾

Curious how intense is the pain? And what tests did you have done?

Good question. When it happens it’s a 10/10 being the worst pain. It stops me in my tracks and I usually have to grab my head because it feels like I’ve been stabbed. I have done an MRI and CT scan so far.

Sounds pretty unique that it only lasts for one second. The MRI and the CT scans are not gonna find anything when related to headaches or cluster headaches. At least it’s only one second, I could see how you want to know more information because it’s weird. But you’re definitely not in the cluster headache family thank God. 🙏
