What Could Headache Starting From Jawline On Right Side And Shooting To Back Head Almost From Ear To Ear With Throbbing In Neck And Twitching Signify?
my boyfriend has a headache that starts at his jawline on right side and pain shoots to the back of his head almost from ear to ear with throbbing in his neck and twitching. He recently had two teeth removed in lower jaw on both sides a couple months ago. He uses a lot of sugar in his coffee every morning could this be a factor? If not what could be the problem? He keeps worrying about a stroke, diabetes, a blood clot or anyarism?

Hello
No, sugar can't be responsible for headache. I think, excessive worrying about the possibility of developing a disease is the cause of headache. It can be called Obsessive Phobia and I treat my patients with such problem with SSRI like paroxetine or Fluvoxamine.
