Go to ER: What you described is compatible with temporal arteritis and you should visit an emergency room at the earliest to protect your vision, just in case it is temporal arteritis.

Not related: Any headache must be viewed as a valid medical disorder and the headache assessment must be comprehensive. See your PCP for headache evaluation, tests, imaging and treatment options. See your dentist for TMJ syndrome.

Question 4

hard lump forming on side of head above right ear two days ago, hurts to touch/lay on, cause some headache and hurts to open jaw all the way.

Accepted Answer

Infection?: I would worry that you have folliculitis or an abscess in your scalp. This is probably a difficult area for you to see, but if it is red, warm, and painful, it could be infected. In this case, a health provider needs to see if it requires drainage and/or if you need antibiotics. I would recommend seeing a health provider soon.

Question 8

headaches frequently, sometimes either on right or left side of head. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Persisting headache: Most headaches easily go away with some rest or otc analgesics.  Headaches which dont, or which persist and are very frequent warrant evaluation by your primary care doctor or a neurologist.  Depending on the nature of the headache there should be a way to manage it.  Sometimes a clinical and health psychologist can help monitor triggers and assist with muscle relaxation and other techniques.

Question 9

i am suffering from a daily headache in left side of head and feeling of something pressed inside, please help?

Accepted Answer

NDPH: New daily persistent headache. These headaches are characterized by a relatively abrupt onset of headache (within 3 days) that does not remit and is persistent. It has been suggested that this headache may be related to immune changes possibly related to the epstein-barr or similar virus but this hypothesis needs further investigation. Fortunately, these headaches are mostly self-limiting.

Yes: If you have a large mass that suddenly shows up like you should see a doctor immediately. It could be bleeding under the skin. If you are on blood thinners it is even more urgent...
