Right Side Of Head Aching

[eers03]

The right side of my head just above and in fron of my ear is intermittently aching in the evening and hurts to the touch.  If I lightly run my hand over it, it hurts worse right now.  Thoughts?  

 

I am only taking a multi vitamin and Vitamin D (2000IU's).

 

My BP is 138/90.

HIya eers,

 

Could be from tension, allergies, food, just really hard to know.  I usually pop a couple of Excedrin Migraines, but Tylenol may work too.  Sometimes caffeine will help a headache because it constricts the blood vessels.  But caffeine and chocolate can also be triggers for migraines.  I also use an ice pack when laying down.  just wrap it in a washcloth and lay it over the area that hurts.  I often get the surface pain with my headaches.  And drink extra water, why?  extra water helps EVERYTHING.  

 

Good luck eers,

Just a thought... have you seen a dentist?  Sometimes face pain can be associated with TMJ issues or teeth-grinding and/or jaw clenching.

Thanks.  Today was much better in that I did not have this experience at all.  I was doing some reading and staring at computer screens yesterday.  I also managed to find myself in a debate that may have been more stressful than I realized.  Today, I went out on my motorcycle and did my first workout in a real long time.  No headache...
