Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are different causes and types of headaches.
Headaches can be primary or secondary. In primary headaches there are no other associated medical conditions causing the headache. In secondary headaches there is a condition or disease that is causing the headache.
With a history of pain involving the temporal regions and abnormal sensations , it is possible that your symptoms are related to neuralgia This is pain related to a problem of the structure or function of the nerve.
If this is the case there is medication available that may help you.
You should consider visiting your doctor for an assessment.
I hope this helps
