When ever I think/study, I get an strong stabbing headache in single/same part again and again in the upper part of head.. It feels like an ice pick headache sharp , very sharp I got the MRI done, there's nothing in it, and even EEG ,it's normal.. Can someone suggest what should I use for this pain to kill or completely go away...
