You should check with your doctor.

I also have the stabbing pains in my head ; no neck ache though . The pains appear when I am anxious or in a bad flare of IBS , I can go for weeks with no pain , so I am assuming it’s not serious , will be interested to hear what your doctor says

Soon as the dr calls me I will let you know what he or she says I hope it’s nothing serious but waiting is making me anxious even tho I’ve no headache or stabbing pain as of yet x

Thanks so much , try not to be anxious , I know it’s easier said than done , good luck with your appointment

The dr says it’s muscular headache, she said my blood tests are good, my blood pressure is normal , I had my eye test yesterday that was good so although keep getting headaches daily and stabbing pains in head she says it’s down to stress, can stress really cause this?

Firstly thanks so much for your reply , I too have had normal bloods and blood pressure and i was assuming as I have had it for quite a while their was nothing seriously wrong ! I do find though that the more I worry about something , the more physical symptoms I develop and then my anxiety goes to a different level ! I have started walking everyday , and try to keep my intake of sugar and gluten as low as possible and this has helped me

I do hope you feel better soon

I’ve been told my magnesium could be low and this causes the headaches and the stabbing pains so I’m gonna try things with magnesium in and see if that helps x

[Dizzypants in reply to Mascot68]

Do you have headaches and stabbing pains most days, I try and relax but can’t seem to focus on anything apart from my head no doubt that makes me worse x

It's part of ibs it affects different people can last days weeks,or months

[Dizzypants in reply to Billydancer1]

You think stabbing pains for like 10/15 seconds is due to Ibs ?

I too have been suffering with headaches I found cutting out sugar helped quite a bit for some reason? Not sure why
