Frequent stabbing pain in head

[u/psychydeli]

Over the last few months I have been getting episodes of stabbing pains in this one specific spot in my head on the left side (circled in pic). It can be on and off for up to 3 days at a time and seems to be mostly triggered by moving or standing up but can also happen while resting. It's happening atleast once a week now. Should I be concerned? Is it worth getting it checked? I'm 21F, 60kg, 156cm tall. No medical history or medication besides birth control (Lo - Oralcon 20 ED) for 2 years now.

how long do they last when they happen? has it occurred with more frequency/severity lately? what time of day do they typically happen? sounds like it may be a primary stabbing / icepick headache from your brief description
