    Are you on Blood Pressure Meds ? Or any meds ,they can give headaches .

        Check anything your on I would ,can be a simple answer .

      My I've just read up on that med ,I'd go check that med out ,could well be that's where you problem lays ,Hope you find the answer ,by the way you don't suffer from allergies,that may be another cause for one sided headache ,only mention that as I've got rhinitis ,get head pains with that daily ,wish you well .

      That's a new one to me ,brain shrinkage .youve not taken meds for past month , look at migraines ,if still got it try taking a Migraleve tablet ,see if they stop it ,could be anything ,if you've been unwell recently ,or coming down with a bug ,that may be what's doing it ,as it's only recently began .So don't go over worrying just yet ,probably a simple explanation for it ,how old are you ?

      Think you need to uptake your water in take ,your brain is surrounded by water in the Menengies ,when you get headache by not having enough water ,the brain tightens up ,this was shown to me from a cranial osteopath ,some years ago ,I've drank 4/5    50 mls of water daily ,as soon as I wake I drink water ,and continue all day long till I've drunk that water ,give that a try ,see if that helps . This bugs been around a fair while ,won't hurt to keep a diary,see how you go but drink that water ,that will help with this virus ,flushes your kidneys through alone .
