It sounds like you might be describing a type of headache or neuralgia, but based on the knowledge base provided, I can only offer information specifically related to migraines and trigeminal neuralgia.

Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN):
- Causes: Often due to nerve damage, which can be caused by multiple sclerosis (MS), tumors, surgery, trauma, or stroke.
- Symptoms: Severe nerve pain described as sharp, shooting, or stabbing, often in the cheek and jaw. Pain can be triggered by light touch, eating, talking, or exposure to wind.
- Affected Areas: The trigeminal nerve has three branches:
- Ophthalmic nerve (V1): Scalp, forehead, and area around the eyes.
- Maxillary nerve (V2): Area between the eyes and mouth, including sinuses and upper teeth.
- Mandibular nerve (V3): Lower mouth, tongue, teeth, and jaw.

If your symptoms don't align with this, it might be best to consult a healthcare professional for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
