Sudden, Sharp, On And Off Pain In Left Side Of Head, Sensitive To Touch Area. Taken Advil, Consuming More Water. Suggest
yesterday i experienced sudden sharp pain on the left side of my head .. it lasted for about 30-60 seconds. afterwards, the area was sensitive to the touch. i thought i was dehydrated so drank a lot of water. now, at 3:00 am, i am awakened by the same pain in the same place. it comes and goes. i took two advil and drank more water. it seems to be getting better but i am concerned because it is still sensitive to the touch.

hi
thank you for the query
madam,
your complaint seems to be of a trivial headache ,which is relieved by tab advil and lots of water,what is more concerning is left side of your head sensitive to touch, possibilities with such presentation could be a migraine or trigeminal neuralgia...but that doesn't fit into migraine or trigeminal neuralgia , as it does not have typical presentation...I suggest you to see a neurologist to rule out the above mentioned pathologies...
thank you
