A member asked:
Can a headache on the back and side of the head (right over the right ear) be from tension? i am a senior and have not had a migraine in years.

Possibly: However, severe headaches in individuals over 60 require evaluation. A disorder known as giant cell or temporal arteritis can be ruled out usually by simple lab tests. See a doctor.
