Brief Answer:
Neurological evaluation is needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Possible cause of your symptoms may be a type of headache called Primary Stabbing Headache.

Usually this type of headache occurs in people that suffer from Migraines too.

Accompanying vision disturbances are not characteristics of this headache type, but may be related (headache too) to transient ischemic attacks, so in my opinion there is need to consult a Neurologist, discuss your concerns and maybe possibility of brain imaging study ( MRI) in order to obtain a correct diagnosis.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
