Not yet: If you haven't experienced headaches before in your life, you should see a doctor to be sure your symptoms are not related to a more serious condition. There isn't a need to be worried now, especially if there are no other associated symptoms other than coldness. But since it is causing bad headaches it should be checked out.

Possible causes of r-sided headaches above forehead primarily at night after sleeping on back of head. Hard time opening true r-eye. Arms and legs get tingling. Thinking a nerve issue but worried about brain tumor?

Can lack of sleep cause headache behind one eye? I was using my phone all night prior to sleeping. Aspirin doesn't get rid of headache should I be worried? I get these headaches every now and then, but they seem to last all day till I sleep?
