HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Headaches can be due to different possible causes such as tension headaches, migraines, trauma, mass in the skull or brain, cluster headaches, sinus disease, side effect of medication, neuralgia (nerve related pain).

Headaches on the side are commonly due to tension headaches but other causes may need to ruled out by imaging such as a CT scan.
Neuralgia should also be considered since you state it is a sharp shooting pain.


If you cannot see your normal doctor, you may want to see if there is an alternative available

I hope this helps
