What Causes Tight Sensation On The Left Side Of The Head?

I have had tightness on left side of head near tempural area that radiates down behind ear into my neck for over a year. MRI, CT scan, blood work, ultra sound of neck, lumbar puncture all came back normal. this comes and goes. Comes more than goes and is often triggered by any thing pressing on my head. some days are worse than others but always feels like something is inside my head (tempural area)

Hi,

If the scans are normal then it points towards a migraine. A course of sumatriptan works wonders in such cases.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
