Hi avalerion
i suffer from what my neuro calls ice pick headaches. They are very painful and I get them between 3 and 12 times an hour. Though I get them on both sides of my head, at the front. I sometimes get them in my eye, or right behind it.
I am also a second year student at uni and I know what you mean about using the computer a lot. However, in my case I don't think its related. The only thing I find that can make them worse is chocolate. And perhaps some lectures (using the overhead projecter?). I am trying amitriptyline at the moment, but for me, it hasn't had any affect so far, though this differs in different people.
If I was you, I would go to the doctor, it may just be tension headaches, but it's always best to get these things checked out.
Hope this helps
cheers
