Since i woke up i've had a sharp throbbing pain only on the left side of my head when i move around or stand up. i don't feel ill at all, what is this?

Hard to say: The causes of a new headache are large in number and range from tension headache migraine to more serious problems. A common cause of a headache on awakening is sleep apnea, especially in those who snore and are obese. New severe headaches generally require medical evaluation so people with this issue should seek medical attention.
