Head Ache located in the right frontal part of my skull.

[willmorrison]

I am currently suffering from a headache/migraine that has being occuring for the better part of a week. It is just above my right eyebrow and is centered around what I believe is a brain dent which I believe I must have been born with. The pain is not constantly bad but at times it can be very painful. I sometimes trigger the pain on purpose to determine the level of the intensity of the headache from shaking my head side to side. The pain also occurs when I tilt my head up as if to look at the sky. Sometimes as well I will feel a slight tingling sensation usually on my upper lip so I'm not sure if the two are related. I'm concerned but before I went to a clinic I wanted to find out on this forum if anyone had an answer. I'm 18 years of age.

Thank You.

Welcome to the forum!
There can be some very simple causes of frontal headache. Poor sleep, eye strain, refractive errors of the eye like myopia (short sightedness), temporal arteritis (possible as tilting the head cause stress on lips), compression of cervical spinal nerves, and sinusitis are some of the common causes of frontal headache. Brain tumors and blood clots can be a cause certainly. However do not panic. First these simpler causes need to be eliminated by your doctor before you can think of brain tumors and clots. Generally these also cause some neurological symptoms too. Discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
