Severe headache in occipital region

2017-08-22 18:07:08
I've been having severe headache in occipital region, usually on left side, occasionally bilateral. The pain is very sharp, lancinating radiating to back of eye. The pain usually last for 3-4 hours and is only relieved on taking medication(saradon). Since past 6 days im having 2 episodes like this, one in morning upon waking up and at night.
