Sharp,shooting pains: I assume you have no scalp lesions or inflammation. Sharp,shooting head pains are almost always a neuralgia which is an irritability of superficial nerves in the scalp and are not emanating from the brain itself. Night sweats are nonspecific but would be worrisome if accompanied by fever and chills. Neuralgia usually resolves on its own. If symptoms persist, consult a neurologist for evaluation.
