From the other hand a tension type headache can not be excluded, though this symptomatology is very atypical for this disorder.
I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical exam and perform a brain MRI scan to exclude possible intracranial lesions, which may mimic this clinical situation.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!

What Causes Numbness In Head And Face?
Hello! Welcome on HCM! I carefully read your question and understand your concern. The numbness in the half of your head may be related to a lesion of the trigeminal nerve. From the other hand a tension type headache can not be excluded, though this symptomatology is very atypical for this disorder. I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical exam and perform a brain MRI scan to exclude possible intracranial lesions, which may mimic this clinical situation. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards, Dr. Aida
