Intermittent Pain In Head. Reason?
Hi
I have been experiencing twinges of pain on the left side of my head on and off for the past 3 hours. They only last about one to two seconds and that is why I call them twinges, they are not severe but I have not felt them before. They come intermittently and more regular when I was talking to some friends about them. I am 51 yrs and otherwise in reasonably good health.
With many thanks, Martin

Hi,
You are having half headache.
This might be due to some cold or sinus infection.
If blood pressure rises then also you may get headache.
Go for checking of blood pressure.
Ok and take care.
