Why Am I Having Short Duration Headaches At Various Locations In My Head?

I had a suspected TIA a week ago. Since then, I have had very short duration headaches (1-3 seconds) at various locations in my head. Pain levels are very low (1 on a scale of 1-10). Frequency is every 10 minutes. Frequency is going down as time passes. Is this something to be concerned about?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should definitely consult neurologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of central nervous system.
2. MRI brain
3. Blood pressure monitoring.
Hypertension and brain pathology are likely cause for such symptoms.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for brain pathology.
Sometimes, stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
