Hello dear, Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com. If you would have presented to me as an outpatient,I would have made the following clinical explanation- Acute onset localised sharp headache on one side,at your age should definitely be evaluated and not taken casually.Your age group is a high risk for vascular accidents,and the clinical setting of hypertension increases the risk further.So,please visit a physician so that he examines you well for any neurological deficit.He may let you undergo a brain imaging like computerised tomographic(CT) scan to see for any intracranial damage.The bottom line is-Secondary cause is must to be rules out first,before presuming it to be a primary headache.I hope it helps.
