Hello Doctor,
I've been experiencing severe pain in the right side of my head, specifically in a vein. The pain is so intense that it even wakes me up while I'm sleeping. I'm really concerned and would appreciate any guidance on what might be causing this and how to relieve it.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
The intense pain in one side of your head could be due to conditions like migraines, cluster headaches, or issues with blood vessels. Since it’s waking you up, it’s important to get it checked by a doctor. I recommend scheduling an appointment for a thorough evaluation, possibly including an MRI or CT scan. In the meantime, over-the-counter pain relievers might help. If the pain worsens or you have other symptoms like vision changes, seek medical attention immediately. Feel free to schedule an online consultation if you'd like to discuss further.
Thanks
