Thankyou for the response.

It has since gone away, but constant headaches are really getting to me. What does this mean with a tumor in the spine? What could happen?
Thankyou.

Hi

Thanks for the post! How are you now?

A right side headache could be migraine. A caries or infected tooth too can produce right side headache that appears to be travelling up from neck. Similarly blocked ear, wax in ear or an infection of ear too can be the culprit. Spondylitis of cervical vertebra causing pressure on nerves too can cause one side headaches. It could be due to tumors in spine too.

I think you may discuss these possibilities with your doctor. Then seek referral accordingly. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
