Thought I was having an aneurysm. Nope, an “ice pick headache”. It happens all of a sudden – for me, at my temple for 10 seconds – and then goes away.
If I don’t comment after this, please send help.

For me, my headache/migraines w/e, are like pseudo ice-pick or I have a high pain tolerance (I also have fibro). But feels ocular, it’s always only one eye or the other that hurts. 🙂↔️
MRI/MRA were clean too so at least there’s that for me.
I also have fibro, and I get headaches that feel like an ice pick stabbing me through the eye too. I didn’t think it was related, but maybe it is?
I get them frequently around this time of year and found that making myself as cold as possible is the only thing that helps. I usually use an ice pack, water, and a fan first (with my head buried in a pillow to block out any sound) and if that’s not enough, I’ll go sit outside on the porch in a tshirt until I cool off and it goes away. It’s super weird but it works.
Same! It’s usually my right eye, and if I close it it helps. Doesn’t stop entirely, but dampens it quite a bit.
Lol same, I always think oh crap an aneurysm is gonna pop now. First time I hear of this kind of headache.
I feel it helps imagining that you breathe into the picking area.
weird, i get headaches where it feels like the only solution is an icepick through the top my eyeball. sweet, sweet death.
My dad once caught my mom fumbling through a drawer in the night looking for a gun to ease the pressure in her head.
I get left side migraines that last a day or two; ice picks behind an ear that last a few seconds - worse if I’m going between hot/cold areas a lot like in/out of buildings; and ocular migraines, usually if I’ve been upside down - looks like I’m looking through camo mesh for awhile and then a dull headache for a few hours. I mostly use cbg, water, and a little caffeine; then Aleve and Tylenol; then maxalt.
“Cluster headaches”
Sitting in my closet, rocking back and forth waiting for it to be over. Exactly the same, I told my wife afterwards “If I’d had an ice pick, I would have shoved it through my eye.”
Dude, I am happy as hell for you that it took this long to experience one.
