Hello. I am 21 and have suffered from headaches for at least 6 years. I don't believe that they are cluster headaches, but I was hoping someone hear might have some information for me. I get short (1 minute or less), sudden, sharp, stabbing headaches. They can happen at any time. I can go for a month without a headache or go through a month with several headaches. I have spoken with several doctors and heard many theories, but no one has ever told me what definitely causes them or how to get rid of them. I can be any situation you can think of and all of a sudden be hit with this pain. My reaction is usually, ow, stop what I am doing, and grab my head. You can imagine how unsafe this is when I am driving or how strange it must seem to others in the middle of conversations. If anyone here can help in any way I would be very appreciative.
