1.Since yesterday morning
I have been very anxious since September and got diagnosed with Illness Anxiety Disorder in October for which my psychiatrist has prescribed me Shine 25mg and Zapiz 0.25 mg.
I am not able to comment on your last query as I'm not exactly sure.
I did cut my hair 2-3 days before.
And I banged my head with a wooden door yesterday morning
but that was on the left side.
I a have migraine.
this pain is only when I press the area or I lie down on the pillow.
Not always though.
But sometimes.
I am currently having Pan 40 also and a lot of gas is passing everyday.
This is what my surgeon prescribed me.
I had an anal polyp removal operation on the 5th of this month.
It was not malignant.

Be assured.
Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Thanks for being in follow-up.
I just mentioned MRI because MRI is more sensitive than CT scan.Though, CT scan with contrast being normal almost rules out a brain tumor.You should not worry. I already mentioned that this appears to be stress headache.Please be reassured and start doing mental relaxation exercises.This pain should go off soon.
If you have no further questions,please write a review and rate the thread.
