Why do i get sudden sharp pain in my brain? they last a few seconds but hurt a lot.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple causes: Brief, sharp head pains are usually not concerning and can be due to jaw issues, muscle pain, or sometimes exercise induced. Treatment is limited because the pain is too brief for something to start taking effect. If the pain persists or if there are any new symptoms, contact your physician.
