What Causes Severe Pain On Right Side Of The Head?
Lately I have been having a shooting pain in the right side of my head slightly over my ear. The pain does not last long but when it does come I can't stand it and have to stop whatever I am doing to deal with it. I have also been having dizziness and blurriness causing me to not see properly. I'm just scared that it might be something bigger than I expect it to be since my family has a history of brain tumor and other so I want to be cautious ahead of time, just in case. Thank you for your time, it's greatly appreciated.

I SEE FROM YOUR SYMPTOMS THAT YOU ARE HAVING SOMETHING RELATED TO MIGRAINOUS ATTACKS. SUMATRYPTAN OR VASOGRAINE[ALKALOIDS] WILL HELP YOU.
IF YOU ARE AN INDIAN, TRY A PRPARATION CALLED 'HEADSET'.
THERE'S AN INTERNATIONAL BRAND WITH THE NAME ORATAB.
FROM YOUR SYMPTOMS IT DOESN'T SEEM YOU NEED AN MRI OF HEAD AS THE SYMPTOMS ARE STRAIGHTFORWARD. STILL IF ORATAB OR HEADSET DON'T BENEFIT TO RULE OUT ANY GROWTH. AT LEAST YOU WILL HAVE PSYCHOLOGICAL RELIEF THAT NOTHING'S THERE EXCEPT MIGRAINE[WHICH ITSELF IS QUITE TROUBLESOME AT TIMES].
