What Causes Pain Near The Temple And Back Of Ear?
About 3 days ago, I starting getting a quick pain (I call it a twang) on and near my left temple to near the back of my ear, and can be felt at different heights. (meaning, within a 2 inch area) It is sharp but very quick. Sometimes it happens a lot in a short amount of time and at other times, once and then much later again. Should I be worried?

Hi, Welcome to Health Care Magic,
As per your query, this type of headache can be due to many reasons.
1. Most common is elevated blood pressure.
2. It can also be a symptom of toothache or ear related problem.
3. Sinusitis- which is infection of sinuses
4. Cluster headache or migraine.
5. Meningitis- which is infection of layers of brain
So you should visit a physician/neurospecialist (head specialist), If problem persist
Hope you get the query
Get well soon
