Pulsating pain on the right side of the head

by yonten, Nov 17, 2008 11:12PM
Hi,
My father who is 55 years old has had this severe pulsating pain on the right side of his head for the last few days. He used to be a smoker and gave up smoking 3 years ago. We takes morning walks regularly and has his weight under control. He does have blood pressure but that too has been under control for the last few months.

When he had the pains, we checked hi BP, but they were just slightly higher than normal. We have done an MRI (CT Scan) and they have found nothing wrong.They have informed that it must be acute migrane. We did another round of MRI in another hospital and they have informed us that there are some dead cells in the head. But the main cause of the pain is acute migrane. I am worried about the dead cells. Could it mean anything? Why would someone get pulsating pain on the right side of the head?  Please advise.

thank you
