Before going into the description of "Sharp Pain" it must be
clear that a flight consists of three major phases i.e,
takeoff/climb, cruise and descent/landing. All the three phases
require differernt PRESSURIZATION SEQUENCES to be maintained inside
the cabin to maintain the atmospheric pressure conditions that are
almost indentical to that of the sea level, normally 14.7 Psi
(however the pressure inside the cabin is slightly lower thatn this
value). This "Sharp Pain" in the forehead is associated with these
pressurization sequences. The pressurization sequence starts as
soon as the aircraft starts running on the runway and the cabin
pressure is actually increased (as if the aircraft is diving down
below the sea level !!!!). This increase in cabin pressure is
necessary to counter the effect of reduced atmospheric pressure at
higher altitudes. As a result of this PRE-PRESSURIZATION, a sort of
pain is felt in the forehead while the aircraft is still on the
ground during takeoff phase !!!! Similar sort of experince is
witnessed during the descent phase when the ears start aching
because of the increase in cabin pressure as the altitude
decreases.
In this answer I have assumed that the reader is aware of the
concept of CABIN PRESSURIZATION of an aircraft. If this concept
isn't clear I would be more than happy to explain it in order to
better understand why PRESSURIZATION is necessary which ultimately
has to do a lot with the Sharp Pain phenomenon !!!!!!
