Random throbbing head pain and pressure in right side

Posted , 138 users are following.

For over a month now, I've had an infrequent throbbing pain & pressure on the right side of head. It appears randomly, and occurs much more frequently when I'm stressed. Although, when I feel fine it will still appear, just not as frequently.  It's always on the right side of my head, near the top but will occasionally be at the back of my head too. I will feel it every single time when I wake up, without fail. That's the only time I can guarantee it'll be felt.

I've had a CT scan done a few weeks ago which came out completely clear. I was thinking that it was my sinuses acting up, so I went to an ENT (Ear Nose & Throat) specialist, but they couldn't find anything wrong.

I don't know what else it could possibly be. I'm starting to think that it may be my neck, but I'm not entirely sure ...

Anyway, here's a summary:

* Throbbing in head on the right side

* Infrequent (appears at random)

* Appears every day

* Brings my mood down completely whenever it occurs

* Had a CT scan; was completely clear

* Sinuses are completely fine, and are clear

Please help.

    Hello bro ,your brain got over strained stressed because of using it toomuch a lot just close your eyes & comcentrate on pain part  or on your complete body so that u can get  an idea in your innerself that what are the other discomforts you are facing so ur mind will tell you automatically what to do(means THE SENCE which will tell you to drink water when you are thirst,which will tell you to eat when you are hungry ,which will tell you to sleep when you are tired  ,,.....listen to that sense what it is saying to do to solve that pain or discomfort  wink this is the sense in brain which is saving animals in wild ,we too have that sense but our logical sense dominated it,thats why we cant hear to our body what it is asking what it wants,we are completely immersed in thsi external world which is a dream but viwed as real world with our eyes,if you listen to that sense you will see what is truth and all your health and life problems will vanish.     

    there are 2 people(sense's) staying as one in the body ,   conciousness that is dealing with external worldly things  AND  conciousness that is taking care of our body inside. THIS IS WHAT THE   Dr EINSTINE  TOLD  

    RATIONAL MIND IS THE GOOD SERVENT  &   INTUTIVE MIND IS THE SACRED GIFT ,WE ARE GIVING HONOR TO THE SERVENT AND NEGLECTING THE GIFT.

    DECIDE YOURSELF WHO YOU ARE

    good luck bro.

    I have dealt with epilepsy and other neurological problems my entire life... It could be an optical migraine . I have them all the time . I see a pin dot twinkle in the distance also . Now if the problem feels bulging especially if you bend down or stand up and gets worse it could be blood pressure related.

    I feel exactly the same thing! Mine is more recent, though and sorry I have no answers too.

    Look as much as everyone else here has been saying it's a brain tumor and it could be, it sounds more like a cluster headache. They are very common and all the symptoms you have are exactly the ones found common with cluster headaches. I have them too and nothing is wrong with me. They come and go and I just get through them. Don't worry yourself over this. If it really feels that bad then go to a neurologist. But I wouldn't worry because stress can trigger these, and they are just regular headaches people get all the time.

    I'm a little scared since I have a similar thing happening. The back right side of my head throbbing that is. It happens at random intervals of times but today it was a little more painful than normal. I found myself breathing quite fast as well. Also, many times after lying in bed for a long while to rest or sleep, whenever I sit and stand up right afterward, I cannot see anything, or more like ususally I see many greyish black dots moving around for quite a while before I see anything. Sometimes, it would be a whole patch of grey and I would stand still for many minutes straight waiting for my sight to come back. I do wear glasses and check my eyes every few months as well to see any change in degree and it's up to date so I don't know why it keeps happening. Is it usual? I had thought it was normal since my eyes have to adjust to light, but sometimes even when there is no difference in the light intensity or very little difference, it continues to happen.

    Also, sometimes I feel like my heart really really hurts, not like emotional or something but it feels like someone decided to pierce my heart with a sword. It lasts for a few seconds and everything goes back to normal. No idea what causes the heart pain but could it possibly be related? The heart pain doesn't occur at the same time as the headaches though. 

    Please help me with this, I am unsure if it normal.
