I have had shooting pain in the left side of my head that comes about every three minutes, and it just started a few days ago. what could it be?

Guessing game: Whether right or left, the point is that you are having fairly regular pains in the head. Still not enough information to make a diagnosis. Statistically, most likely diagnosis at your age is migraine.
