Hi,
The head ache can arise from stress,weather, sinus pressure or inflammation of an artery. Sharp/unbearable pain in temporal area is mostly due to Temporal arteritis.
Usually apart from Pain killers available on counters, corticosteroids are prescribed to relieve inflammation. Calcium ,Vit. D help for boney weakness.
Yoga.relaxation techniques,deep breathing,Acupuncture are alternative therapies.
Thanks.
