text: i have a sharp pain in the front of my head, what could it be? i have a very sharp pain in the front of my head. it is above my sinuses. it is not a headache pain. it is like there is someone stabbing the inside of my head with a knife, and it just moved up. i took two aspirin. what could it be, and what should i do about it? could be a migraine.  my daughter has gotten them since she was 4.  for her they start with some numbness of her limbs, some nauseau and tiredness.  she takes advil liquid gels for this and goes and lays down in her darkened room.  or it could be from eyestrain which could be from staring at your computer for a long time.  when using your computer make sure you have a light on besides the one from your computer screen (same thing for watching tv) and get up now and then and look elsewhere.
