What Causes Sharp Pain On The Right Front Side Of The Head?
I am having alternate sporadic sharp pain on the right & left forefront of my head ... not long enough for discomfort, but enough to stop me from activity or wake me from my sleep when they flare up. It has been occurring for a couple of years now, but more frequent in the past few months. Can you forecast what may be the cause? I have out ruled stress and migraines ...

Hi,
The symptoms are consistent with common causes like migraine or tension headache, as a first line management you can try analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, better to consult a neurologist and plan for an MRI brain to rule out possible intracranial (inside the brain) causes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
