It seems to me like 2 possibilities.

1. Magnetic resonance - perhaps a magnetic repulsion is creating the dissonance and causing the headache. I'd suggest seeing someone who specializes in sensing the subtle energy fields of the body and doing tests (it sounds a little crazy, but it's worth a try).

2. Psycho-somatic disorder - perhaps the physical symptoms are being created by the mind. In which case, you'll want to see a psychologist or psychiatrist.

Kulasti, I am not a doctor but then again I just have a feeling your pain has more to do with your thinking than you actually having a physical problem. Generally, anyone who brings a sharp object near his eyes, say a knife, it will cause irritation. So that happens to everybody. Even though you say you get the headache at random times (and it’s unbearable as well) even if the sharp objects are not near you but I think it is only psychological and it's happening because you are thinking too much about it. Do you also have symptoms like headache, pressure/pain in the forehead or maxilla (cheek bone), heavy feeling in the head, a blocked nostril, runny nose, or thick nasal discharge? If you have one or more of these symptoms it could be a sinus infection. It's better to visit a doctor to rule out the possibilities of sinusitis or migraine problem. Also, don't think too much about sharp objects and try to think something else when those thoughts come into your mind. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Finally, someone with the same problem! I thought I was a crazy person... I have the same issue. It's hard to explain, but you nailed it - sometimes not even necessarily knives, but objects that are really pointy/sharp, such as those long thin racks mutiple items are displayed on in a store such as walgreens can drive me crazy at any given moment. I don't get a headache per say, but instantly a quick urge to want to look another way and/or close my eyes. Someone please tell me if I need to go see a shrink lol

In my opinion, your problem is even is simpler to solve (even though it's always much easier said than done) because you don't get a headache. You only get an "urge to want to look another way and/or close my eyes." As I said earlier, everyone gets irritated when a sharp object is brought near their eyes. So you just need to divert your mind into other thoughts. Having said so, if your problem is seriously bothering you, a doctor's advice is necessary.

So I'm not crazy? Awesome! lol... Yeah it's definitely not a headache I get, just a weird feeling in my eyes. It's not so much a dangerous knife being near me that even bothers me, it's just like my eyes are screaming, "ahh! don't let that pointy object puncture me!" - but I have plenty other problems... I suffer from insomnia and rare sessions of sleep paralysis. My eyes are very sensitive to light, I have to dim lights and home and computer monitors; don't get along with the sun too well either unless I have to - could that have anything to do with it?

Edit: Like you said... usually I just had to think about something else to divert my attention off the fact that there's a point object near my eyes to relieve the 'strain' I get in my eyes. So is this all a psychosomatic thing going on in my head or some sort of phobia?

As far as insomnia is concerned, you need to relax yourself before you go to sleep. Taking a shower in slightly warm water may help. I am not sure but many websites claim an average adult requires a good 8 hours night sleep even though it differs for individuals. Music is another way of relaxing your mind. Obviously, if you go for some heavy rock music that may excite you more instead of relaxing your mind. So if you are a heavy rock fan and don't like to hear all that slow music, my advice may not be helpful. I would like to mention names of two songs but I am afraid the admin is going to consider that as advertising. So I am unable to do so. Some people are extremely sensitive to sound. I am not sure if that is a vision disorder or only a psychological thing. If diverting your mind helps relieving the strain, in my opinion, you don't need to visit a doctor because you yourself are able to solve your problem. Your immune system is gifted with the power to deal with all sorts of problem. Over time, it loses its efficiency either because of a nutritional deficiency, over eating, low hygiene, or stress. Having said all these, I am NOT a doctor and if your problems are seriously affecting your quality of life, you need to see a doctor. Hope that helps.
