See your doctor: Pain that severe needs to be worked up by your doctor in person. He/she will listen to you, perform an examination and possibly order some tests to see what's wrong with you.

March 30 I was in gym on bench press+suddenly the left side base of my skull started throbbing. The pain has not gone away. I can touch a specific spot in the base of my skull (not neck) and it feels like a sharp knife pain. Is it Occipital Neuralgia?
