Question 9

Stabbing pains in top right side of head started one week ago, usually followed by tight band feeling around back of head. could it be serious?

Accepted Answer

threatening, but all headaches are serious because they impact your functioning so much. 90% of all headaches are tension headaches brought on by stress and involving the tightening or tensing of facial and neck muscles. Chronic muscle-contraction headaches may last for weeks or months. The tight band is often described. With stabbing feature, I would seek medical evaluation. Good wishes:)

Question 10

Accepted Answer

It's all over but you can't diagnose ich by the location of a headache since it's non-specific and much more common causes produce headaches in the same location.
