Sudden sporadic heacaches

For the past week I've been getting strange headaches during the day.  They last only a few seconds, are always behind my right eye and I get as many as twenty of these during the day.  My vision isn't affected and I don't feel ill in any other way.

The pain isn't severe, but enough to cause me to stop what I'm doing to wait for them to pass.

Hi

How old are you?

This may be a case of cluster headaches, headache secondary to an eye problem, musculoskeletal headaches or migraine headaches. Cluster headaches may occur as short bursts of pain which last a few seconds and may occur several times in a day. It usually occurs in the area near the eye and may also be associated with eye tearing or redness. Do you have any of these?
