Hi all, I am new to this, and thought I would post the question. Maybe someone can help me out or just give me a hint of what is wrong.

Every so often, I develope this headache, it starts with just my head being sore, which I push aside as just another headache, but then, from this small headache it developes into this really harsh shooting pain which feels like it is behind my right eye. It has happened as well with my left eye. The only way to sooth this is if I put something really cold against my eye that hurts. I normally use an ice pack, or just a really cold bottle of water.

What kind of headache is this, and how does it get treated?
