A member asked:

Why do i get headaches above my left eye & they never go away?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Need more info: First, forget right or left because no disease process is always on left side of the head in all patients. If a pain is always (not 99%) but always on the same side be very concerned about a structural problems which can include many local diseases such as sinusitis, bone infection, brain tumors, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformation & even migraine (but note 100% unilaterality in migraine is rare.

Headache: Call your primary care doctor for an appointment. I am concerned if the headache is always on one side.
