Hi, i woke up this morning about 6:45. Actually what woke me up was a sharp pain throughout the left side of my head above my ear, up into the side of my head, in the temple area. The sharp pains continued throughout the day till about 2:30 today. It is now 4:00 here.They are sharp pains that would come and go ranging from ever 30 seconds- to maybe about every 2-5 minutes. I don't get this pain often, but i have experienced it before here and there. For some reason it just scared to me today because i've never experienced the pain when i was sleeping/or about to wake up.. which i guess you could say it actually woke me up, and then never had it for that long of a time before either. I've gotten the pain before but randomly and not on a regular basis at all. I don't know what it could be. I do experience bad allergies this time of year, and i do take claritin for them, and my mom had a little cold on her recently, and my boyfriend does too. I don't know if it could be just nerves, or if it's normal to experience this.. or if it could be that i might be catching something, or what. I also do get bad headaches sometimes that go into my eye through either my right or left side of the temple area, and to rub where the temple is always makes it feel better, or even to just take two advil and lay down makes it better too..But these sharp pains this morning, and throughout the day made me a little nervous today, and i was just looking for any type of information on what this could be and if i should be concerned.. or worried about this..any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jen
