Hi, i get random jabbing pain lasting 1-2 seconds on my left side of the brain.sometimes right side. what could this be? i'm 20

Likely muscle spasm: Most pain in the head that is brief is caused by muscular causes. It is outside the brain, not inside the brain. It is especially encouraging that the pain moves around, as this would indicate a benign cause of the pain.
