I have been experiencing migraines quite often. i have a sharp like a shock on the left side of my head near the temple, what does this mean?

Nothing major: "lancinating" pains are a common feature of many people's migraines. What it " means" is that that is how you experience your migraines. Have you been formally diagnosed with migraines or did you diagnose yourself? Because this is exactly the sort of question it is appropriate to ask your doctor.

Chronic Headaches: Constant headaches should always be evaluated asap as there could be an underlying medical condition causing the pain. Use of medications like Ibuprofen and triptans on a frequent basis can cause headaches. Family history of headaches also predisposes a person to headaches. Other factors involved in headaches include stress, physical trauma, sleep disorders, and previous history of headaches.
