What Causes Constant Headache On Right Side And Tingling Sensation On Left Side Of Face?

I ve been experiencing a nagging headache for a couple of months that is always in same spot; right side of head. Today the left side of my chin/jaw is tingling like it s falling asleep, not sure if the 2 are related or just a weird coincidence. I always thought the head ache was induced by a lack of protein in my diet or dehydration, but lately it continues even if I drink a lot of water and eat a lot of protein.

Hi,

Noted your history of pain on the right side of head always on the same spot for a couple of months but developed tingling like falling asleep on left side of chin and jaw today.
Both are different issues for sure as discussed below:
Since the headache is ''pointed'' to the same spot on right side the causes can be tumor inside the cranium or vascular problem in the scalp or inside the head.
This can be diagnosed by consulting a Neurologist or Neurosurgeon for clinical examination and assisted by MRI with Angiography.
This will give an appropriate diagnosis and thus allow a specific treatment as per the cause found.
Another issue of tingling of left side of face can be addressed in the same sitting and treated as per the cause found. This can be due to Trigeminal nerve problems, electrolyte imbalance, stress and anxiety.
Also to be watched for any other medical problems like thyroid and so on and to be treated accordingly if found to be.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT and General Surgeon
