Should I Be Concerned About The Recurring Spurts Of Throbbing Headache On Left Eyebrow?

For the last ten minutes or so I have had a sudden intense headache at my left eyebrow that last for about 2 seconds then stops. Then about 30 seconds later it comes back for a couple seconds. Repeats. Do I need to be alarmed? This has never happened to me and I ve never heard anyone talk about a similar experience.

Welcoem to HCM!

Aftre reading your question carefully I think that you need to get your blood pressure checked. This can be related to high BP.
If BP is normal then it can be a form of migraneous headache ( throbbing in nature, one side of head, above eyebrow).

You should not ignore the symptom altogether and consult a doctor about the same. Had I been treating you I would check BP, pulse and may also go for an ECG to check the heart.

If everything is right, and the pain is persistent, then I have seen people responding greatly to pain killer - naproxen sodium and domperidone combination.

You have not mentioned about any kind of weakness in any body part/ or any movement problem, so any organicity of brain is almost ruled out.

Hope the reply is helpful, do see a doctor once.
