Ache on right side of head

Posted By Carole on July 18, 1998 at 15:51:01:







About a month ago I suffered with a headache that lasted for two weeks,
altho I have suffered from migraines, this wasn't like a migraine and
wouldn't respond to any medication I took.  The first indication of the
headache began with an ache on the right side of my head when I brushed
my hair or even touched my hair very lightly and the headache increased
in severity from there.  The doctor I saw thought it was more sinus related
and prescribed Flonase and a pain killer which didn't really do anything
to help.  I also had nausea, lightheadness, sore eyes actually all the
symptoms of a migraine but it lasted too long for a migraine.  
The headache eventually disappeared but the pain on the side of my head
is still there whenever I touch my head or hair - it's actually more of
a dull ache and seems to travel down my head (starting just above my ear
nd travels to the upper neck).  I have had two uncles die of aneurysms and  
an aunt of a brain tumor and it scares me to think that this could be a symptom.
I don't have the money or insurance to keep running to doctors.  Could someone
please give me a explanation of what this could be?  I appreciate your help.
I guess I should add that I'm pretty healthy and other than sinus problems
don't have any health problems. Thank you.
