temple headache

I have a question about a pain similar to a headache i've been experiencing. I get a sharp, short pain above my left eye right around my temple. It's like 3 pulsating pains in a row for a short time. this has been happening for about 2 months, not very often. Does anyone have any feedback at all for me??

pennywisdomga,
I would encourage you to go to the doctor . . .get a diagnosis, and make sure there isn't anything else going on.

Sorry Dave in nj but short, pulsating pain sounds NOTHING like CH.
pennywisdomage, there are quite a few different shorter duration headache types which could fit your symptoms. The good news is that they are all very treatable. The best thing is to get a referral to a good neuro for a diagnosis, but also go to the OUCH link on your left here and have a read around the other headache types in the OUCh library. This may give you a better idea which one your symptoms may fit.

Thank you for those links Steve. I read them and Paroxysms sound mostly like what I'm experiencing. And also, what I forgot to mention was that lately, well, over a few months of time that is, i feel like my eyes are gettin a little bad, but i think it may be from the computer cause I've been spending a lot of time on it lately. If anyone knows anything about how the computer might affect vision or cause headaches, pls let me know. thanks.

Penny you need to go to a good headache specialists and get a diagnosis.
If you have CH then you have found the right place. If not then lucky you.

don is right. You need to see a doctor who specializes in headaches. Get a correct diagnosis. Hope you don't have CH (which it doesn't sound like CH to me) and go from there.
Best wishes,

I read in an article somewhere a quote about CH that said 'it's not life threatening; at least not in the classical sense." Then it went on to indicate the high rate of suicides associated with it---I guess suicides are non-classical
And of course that quote is a classic!

LMAO.
So the logical conclusion would be that suicide is not life threatening? LOL

Hehehe---don---
Reminds me of also of a quote by an Arkansas coroner who was hob-nobbing w/then Gov. Clinton and after a headless body was delivered to his lab the official statement was 'died of natural causes.' Gheesh, hate to see what un-natural ones are!
