Paranoia...: ...Is not part of a typical headache syndrome. It would be a good idea for her to see her md about this.

Take her to urgent: care - they may need to do a MRI/cat scan to find out why her head hurts and in this region. She will be referred to psychiatry for a consult to find out why she is feeling that way and so suddenly. Did she hit her head. Was there a fight, is she on any medicine now. Does any illness run in the family, be prepared to ask a thorough family history when there.
