This is possibly a migraine variant, but if you wish for definitive intervention, get proactive, and contact your doctor. A neurologist who focuses on headache management may be an excellent resource.

Such recurring sharp,fleeting pains in the same area usually emanate from irritable superficial scalp nerves and are not from the intracranial area. These are more nuisances rather than anything serious. As has been mentioned, consult a neurologist for evaluation and advice.
