See a doctor: Numbness and one sided headache could represent something serious. See a doctor.

History and exam: Need a thorough history and exam. Hard to say but numbness is always a neurological concern and should be checked asap. Some tests may have to be run, an MRI may be necessary, but hard to tell.
