Continuous headache: Hemicrania continua is a continuous (or very persistent) headache that affects only one side of the head (right or left) usually towards the temple. If this is your first time experiencing these symptoms, if there are other neurologic symptoms (vision problems, tingling, weakness, etc), or if its the "worst headache of your life", the imaging my be appropriate, though chances are it'll show nothin
