Have pain in head regularly solution - #11510
I have been experiencing persistent pain on the right side of my head, specifically between my right eye and right ear. This pain has been occurring for a while and feels more intense and localized than a normal headache. At times, it becomes sharp and makes it difficult for me to concentrate or carry out my daily activities. Along with this physical pain, I have noticed that I often feel anxious, sad, lonely, and sometimes even depressed. I am not sure if these emotional symptoms are directly caused by the pain or if they are a result of the stress and discomfort of dealing with it for so long. However, they are affecting my mental health and daily life. The pain and the emotional strain combined have made me feel drained and less productive. My sleep and overall wellbeing are also getting affected. I am concerned whether this could be due to migraines, tension headaches, sinus issues, or something more serious related to the nerves. I would like your guidance on what might be causing this, what tests may be needed, and what treatment options could help me manage both the physical pain and the emotional effects I am experiencing.

Doctors’ responses
Headache on one side (between eye and ear) with sharp pain may be due to migraine, sinus, tension-type headache, or nerve-related issues.
Since it is persistent and affecting daily life, you should get a neurological and ENT evaluation, with tests like MRI brain/sinuses or basic blood work if advised.
Pain can also worsen with stress, anxiety, poor sleep, or emotional strain, which you mentioned are also troubling you.
For relief till then: maintain regular sleep, stay hydrated, limit screen time, avoid skipping meals, and track triggers like stress, certain foods, or lack of rest.
Please consult a doctor soon with proper diagnosis and treatment (medications + stress management), both the pain and emotional effects can improve significantly.
