What is Ice Pick Headache

What exactly is an ice pick headache? This is going to be a difficult question to answer since it can sometimes get quite confusing as to the type of headache that you are having. If you experience pains with the sensation that you are being stabbed by an "ice pick" and if the duration is extremely short (lasting for less than a minute), then you can suspect that you have just experienced an "ice pick headache". "Ice pick headache" is extremely painful and intense. It can strike anywhere on the head (predominantly in the obit, temple and parietal area), inflict you with great pain and terror and then disappear as soon as it strikes.
