What Does Sharp Pain On The Left Side Of The Head Indicate?

I have been having sharp pains in left side of head and neck that lasts for few seconds at a time then stops! Continues throughout the day and night. Now having tingling and numbness in hands and fore arms! What could it be? Tylenol and ibuprofen haven t helped at all!

pain that is on one side if it goes on its own then its not a big issue but when it persists then its no doubt an issue. tylenol and ibuprofen overuse can lead to headache that is one sided, other than this anxiety, stress, insomnia, alcohol use, smoking withdrawl, high blood pressure, tumor in brain, cuncussion, when you miss your meal due to low blood sugar....u need to do apply a warm or cool compress to your head and/or neck
soak in a warm bath, practice deep breathing, or listen to calming music to relax
take a nap
eat something if your blood sugar is low

dont overuse the drugs you are taking just take 2 tbs of tylenol tds 500mg
