Brief Answer:
Migraine
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
It looks like you are suffering from migraine. Which is usually seen in males and it is one sided. Here is what you should do
1. Advil is not a very good drug for headaches. I recommend Naproxen twice a day instead for headaches
2. If the headache continues please see a neurologist for a CT brain, a lesion in the brain should not be missed.
3. There are a few known triggers of migraine, example: hunger, inadequate sleep, dehydration.
4. Do not watch tv right before sleeping
I hope I was of help, if you have any further query please get back to me.
Regards
