Suggest Remedy For Sharp Pain In Left Side Of Head
Extreme sharp pain lasting a few seconds in head, left side. If it lasted longer I think I would pass out because of the severe pain. It feels like a maybe it is a nerve pain streaking across the skull. I am 68 yrstd old and weigh 215 and am 5'11" I have had migrain headaches years ago and this is nothing like them. Other wise I am healthy. I only take blood pressure medication and throid medication.

Hey
I think u havr to check for fundus examination
Because sudden pain is result of some vascular pathology likr temporal arteritis
Fundus examination will give overview regarding this changes
If needed than go for MRI which gives best idea for underlying cause
Sometimes it may be due to uncotroled blood pressure so make proper control
Migraine headche presented with unilateral headache nausea vomiting photophobia like symptoms wich is episodic and relive by analgesic medicines
U seem to have different type of pathology so investigate properly
Hope u well best
