What Causes Pain On The Left Side Of The Head When Laid On That Side?

Left side of head above mastoid becomes painful when I lay on that side. I feel a pulsing sensation(heartbeat that is not painful) but then my head feels the throbbing and tightness throughout the night. I wake up with a headache(left side only) then it seems to dies solve within the hour of my shower and my day.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having throbbing, pulsating headache which is characteristic feature of migraine headache.
Migraine cancer cause unilateral headache.
So possibility of migraine related headache is more in your case.
So better to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
2. Avoid excessive sun exposure.
3. Avoid fasting, take your meals timely.
4. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated.
5. Take sound sleep of 6-8 hours.
6. Start combination of propranolol and flunarizine combination at night before bed.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
