A member asked:

Am having sharp intermittent pain to my left temporal lasting less than 10 secs, what are some of the causes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Consult a doctor: You should see, or at least have a discussion with, a doctor. There are some serious causes of temporal headaches. One of these is temporal arteritis, which can cause blindness if not treated quickly. Take care, and I wish you well.
