Q: can a bang on the head cause ice pick headaches?

I banged my head in january and since then every now and then I get stabbing pains in the head, it feels like an electric volt going through my head, but only lasts a matter of seconds, I suffer from anxiety and panic disorder though so could it be related to that? I was on beta blockers and the pain didnt occur whilst on them but now off them seems to be coming back, please help

Hi Alex,

 

Please see your doctor if you are not feeling better. We have information in this SharePost that may be helpful: The Significance of a Bump on the Head.

 

I hope this helps,
