For the past couple of days I have been experiencing a headache. It feels like a pain on the back left side of my head and along the side of my head. I also have pressure in my sinus area but little to no stuffy nose. I do have migraines sometimes but never anything like this. I am 20 years old and otherwise pretty healthy. I am concerned about this being something dangerous but also see that it could be anxiety. Thank you in advance

    Hi Jackson

    My gut feeling is it's probably just a different type of headache/migraine.  I have been suffering 40 years and I find I have about 6 different types of pain in different areas of my head depending on what has caused the pain in the first place.  Don't forget it's very hot at the moment and maybe you just have a different sort of pain because of the weather.

    I don't know if you know what your triggers are, even after all the time I've had them I still haven't identified an actual trigger.

    I would take your usual medication and if it doesn't go or gets worse then maybe seek medical advice, try not to worry too much, the chances of it being something really serious or dangerous is very slim.
