What Causes Tightness In The Scalp And Eye Discomfort Along With Headache?

Goodmorning doctor, first off all, when I tap on my forehead is sounds hollow, also, tightening of the scalp and I am struggling to dream or maintain images in my head, I have a discomforting feeling behind my right eye and regular head aches do acur like the head aches associated with dehydration (like having a hangover of alcohol). I also experience muscle twitches but am not sure if it is related or not. I don t drink a lot of caffeine but I do smoke. I am 25 years old and find these symptoms odd. I don t exercise alot. All of these symptoms are not chronic but happened decently. I also see that I bruise more easily and takes longer to heal, example popping a pimple might leave a nasty mark. Please give advise to what might be wrong.

Neurologist 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Unilateral headache with eye discomfort may occur with trigeminal autonomic cephalgia.
Cluster headache and SUNCTA are the common types with difference in duration of attack.
Examination and evaluation by a neurologist will be helpful in making a diagnosis.
Get examined and evaluated by a neurologist.
