Right-sided head pain

I'm 49 yrs. old, healthy and no history of headaches.  I have been experiencing right-side head pain for three days.  The pain is somewhat dull, yet intensifies when I move my jaw.  I have been taking advil with no relief.  I'm not sure how concerned I should be.

Hi,
How are you? Can you describe these headaches? One-sided throbbing pain usually is associated with migraine headaches. If the medication prescribed is notworking, inform your doctor for change of dosage or medication itself. Tryalos toavoid the possible triggers that may be causing your headache. There is a headache tracker here in the forum that may help. Take care and regards.

Hello Dear,
Are you hypertensive or diabetic?You should get your blood pressure levels monitored.The pain could be due to raised blood pressure.Do you have associated weakness of arms?Also get an ECG done to study the electrical activity of the heart.You can take some NSAID for pain relief.
