Anyone else experience these kind of headaches. Where it just comes out of nowhere but is EXTREMELY painful and abrupt but lasts no more than a split second. This happens to me everyone now and then. It comes and goes as fast as lightening. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Yes this is something you should have checked out by the doc. If they happen often or fairly frequently then make an appointment to discuss this with your doc. If they don't happen that often then mention it the next time you need to see the doc.

Hi,

I get this very often http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif Does it feel like a sharp shooting pain,like a lightning bolt? For me it is very painful, brings me to tears in seconds...

I suffer from TMJ and I have talk with other on the board that have had the same thing before, I am not saying thats what you have, but it wont hurt to check out the board and see what you can learn..

Take care,

It could be ice pick headaches. You need to see a neuro or knowledgable dr tho to be diagnosed. If it is ice pick headaches you don't need to worry but until you are diagnosed you should take any ha seriously that is bothersome and otc meds don't help. And you fit that because the ha come on to quickly and end to quickly for any otc meds to be helpful to you. Let us know what the dr. says. Stay well.
