Why Do I Have Persisting Throbbing Temple Headache?
Why my headache is not going away? It’s a throbbing headache in the temple of my head.

Neurosurgeon
Answered on 15th Oct '24
The throbbing headache you've got is likely tension-related. Stress, fatigue, poor posture, or skipping meals can trigger these kinds of headaches. Be sure to drink plenty of water. Try relaxing with deep breaths or meditation too. If the headache won't quit, take a break. Rest in a calm, dark room for a bit.

Male | 46
You described symptoms like one-sided headaches, tingling legs, a bulging spinal disk, facial pain, vision problems, neck and shoulder discomfort, exhaustion, sleep disturbances, constipation, dizziness, and mild fever. Multiple potential causes beyond MS must be evaluated. These might relate to spinal issues, nerve conditions, or other bodily ailments. A thorough medical examination from a neurologist is vital for identifying the precise source of all these symptoms.

I just need to make sure there’s nothing wrong with me. I’m in a lot I’m feeling diffuseness like under the rib pain incredibly dry mouth sore eyes forgetfulness, nausea, wheezing chest pain
Female | 14
I listened to your worries about being unwell and describing different symptoms. What you feel, for example, like down at the liver, no saliva, the eyes are so sore, and nausea, could be one of the many possible reasons, including strain, allergy, or dryness that might be the cause. To treat issues like these, you need to look at the whole picture. Keep drinking water, sleeping, and lowering stress levels. However, this magic can be a call for professional help as well. My advice is to see a healthcare professional so that they can screen you fully. They will help you personally with the right advice and health care you need to get better.

I have headaches daily from 1 month this is gradually increasing day by day it occurs sometimes on the back and upper part of brain
Male | 17
Your pain in the back and upper part of the head is a possible indication of tension headaches. These issues may originate from stress, sleep deprivation, and bad posture. Keep your shoulders down, sleep well, and straighten your back. If you experience persistent headaches, it is better to consult a neurologist.

I face severe headache problem
Female | 20
Myocardial infarctions are the leading cause of the medical field's death, which can be traced back to a bunch of varieties like stress, migraines, and sinus troubles. Common signs and symptoms of the disorder are a pulsating or beating headache, being sensitive to light, and the on-and-off feeling of nausea. Relieving the pain always goes hand in hand with getting enough water, doing away with stress through relaxation techniques, and having regular sleep patterns. Over-the-counter pain medication can, likewise, be helpful. However, if hyperemia develops or worsens, consult a neurologist.

i'm getting extreme severe pain at the back of head. it's feeling as if someone's hitting me with hammer with each heartbeat. I had lunch in the afternoon and slept. The pain has been there from the moment I woke up. It's in the occipital region, like the occipital headache. I'm assuming 4 main reasons. 1st one is gastric pain(if gas pain has been struck in my head). it occured to me before and also maybe this time since I didn't walk after having lunch, i usually have gastric issue. 2nd is I have severe wax in my ear. my ear's also paining, so i'm assuming this back head pain because of ear wax. third is the stress/strain which i've been experiencing from a month or so, due to the exam fear n stress, i didn't sleep properly from a month and yesterday night I had undergone an incident with the biggest stress in my life, so, i'm assuming that. 4th reason is that frm childhood, i have severe severe body heat within my body, my body overheats a lot within and i had continously overheating food from 2 days and didn't drink much water, so i'm also assumung pain because of overheating. pls tell me the final diagnosis. Dear Sir/Mam, you can cross question me how much ever deep u want ! jus give me the cause n solution pls doctor! i'll be really really grateful to u sir/mam
Male | 20
You described severe pain hitting the back of your head with every heartbeat. Several factors might contribute.
- First, gas trapped in the body could cause gastric discomfort radiating upwards.
- Second, built-up earwax might trigger ear pain spreading to the head.
- Third, stress and strains from exams could manifest as tension headaches.
- Fourth, overheating due to excess body heat production could cause throbbing pain.
To address these potential causes: Walk after meals for better digestion and gas relief. Gently clean ears or seek professional ear wax removal. Practice relaxation, get ample sleep and find support for stress management. Stay hydrated and maintain balanced nutrition to regulate body temperature. However, if the intense hammering pain persists or worsens, promptly consult a neurologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

My brother makes weird hu hu sounds every few seconds,we checked with doctor,but everything is fine
Male | 16
It's good to hear you've consulted a physician about your brother's unusual sounds. These types of noises can often result from habits, such as throat clearing or vocal tics, and are generally harmless. They may also be linked to stress or anxiety. Monitoring the situation is key; if it persists or worsens, revisiting a neurologist can be helpful.

I am 30 years old, a male. I'm having pains at the left side of my head to my neck since three weeks ago
Male | 30
You could be experiencing pain in your left temple which spreads to the neck. One reason for this might be stress, poor posture, or even tension. Also, looking at screens for too long could cause similar discomfort. Please take regular screen breaks and maintain good sitting or standing posture. Additionally, gentle neck exercises can help. Consult a neurologist if the pain doesn't go away.

I advise you to get a pediatric neurologist and make an appointment as soon as possible for your daughter and her problems. A solitary nerve damage from a seizure on the right side of her brain might necessitate more tests and/or treatment.

Female | 23
Severe headaches that feel related to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues can be distressing. It's important to consult a dentist or a specialist in oral and maxillofacial medicine for proper evaluation and treatment. They can assess if TMJ dysfunction is causing your headaches and recommend appropriate therapies or referrals for further management.

Male | 22
The causes of these types of headaches are lack of adequate sleep, stress, dehydration, or even certain foods. To ease the pain, you may make sure you drink enough water, have proper sleep, do not allow stress to take over, and stay away from trigger foods. If the symptoms persist, it is good to visit a doctor

I’m a 22 year old female I’ve been having a headache for the past two weeks making it 3 today .its so severe and I have to the doctor took tramadol Unimed pills today I’m now experiencing symptoms of ringing ears and lightheadedness after the pill .Could this be a sign that the pills are working?
Female | 22
The ringing in your ears and feeling dizzy after ingesting Tramadol Unimed pills may be consequences of the medication. It does not imply that the pills have a beneficial effect. These indications are likely to occur as a result of your body being adjusted to the drug. It is crucial to inform your doctor about these new symptoms so they can assist you in finding the best way to deal with your headaches without these side effects.

You seem to be experiencing weird sensations on the left part of your head, plus numbness in your arm. Nerves getting pressed or trapped might cause these symptoms. A neurologist should examine this as they can suggest treatments like exercises or medicines to ease discomfort.

My mother suffering from stroke last 3 days i have a ct scan report please analysis on it.
Female | 47
A stroke can lead to various symptoms, including weakness, confusion, or difficulty speaking. It happens due to disrupted blood flow to the brain, often from a clot or bleeding. The CT scan is vital for determining the type and extent of the stroke and guiding treatment. I strongly encourage you to share the results with her healthcare provider, as they can offer personalized insights and potential recovery plans tailored to her specific needs. Remember, professional medical support is crucial during this time. Be assured that there are effective approaches to assist her recovery journey.

Some time I feel some sort of unconscious... I also experiencing premature white hair which is happening more rapidly these days. I also face some kind of depression
Male | 31
Struggling with stress and body numbness at night, especially after using screens like phones or laptops? Digital eye strain could be the cause, leading to headaches, eye discomfort, and trouble focusing. To ease the symptoms, take regular screen breaks, dim the room lights, and try relaxation techniques. If you're also dealing with premature gray hair or depression, stress may be playing a role. Improving your diet, staying active, and getting enough sleep can help boost your overall health. If these symptoms persist, see a neurologist.

Male | 69
Your grandfather might be experiencing tongue problems acquired after a recent stroke. This is the term for dysphagia, which is difficulty in swallowing and speaking. Amazingly, he can now open his mouth and move his tongue slowly. For him to make a full recovery, speech therapy might be useful. Exercises and techniques help in the aspect of toning control of the tongue and swallowing, adding to the general treatment of dysphagia.

Female | 39
It’s important to understand that post-concussion symptoms can sometimes be complex and vary from person to person. Your nosebleed might be unrelated, but it could also be linked to stress or changes in your body after the concussion. I strongly recommend seeing a neurologist or an ENT specialist for a proper evaluation and guidance for your symptoms.

My dad is 70 yrs old, had seizures since last October, diagnosed with testicular tumour and hypertension, an operation was done and he was OK, then the seizures recurred again about 6 times since January but last night was the worst. Please help me We're in a war zone and can't take to a hospital What can I do ?
Male | 70
Seizures can be scary, especially when they happen often. In his case, they might be due to the testicular tumor or other health issues. To help him, keep him safe during a seizure by moving away harmful objects and laying him on his side. Comfort him and stay with him until it ends. Watch for any new symptoms and, if possible, gently clean any wounds he may have gotten. It's important to stay calm and supportive. Although you can't go to a hospital right now, keep monitoring his condition and get medical help as soon as possible.

I've been suffering from chronic headaches for nearly 10 years, and I've been taking Vasograin daily to manage the pain. If I don't take the medicine, the headache starts again, and it happens every day.Why is it happening ?
Female | 38
You are possibly having a kind of headache referred to as a "medication overuse headache." The condition may arise if you are too dependent on medications such as Vasograin which brings about pain relief. The medicine is responsible for daily headaches that return if not taken. The method is to use Vasograin less frequently and under medical supervision. This way, the cycle of overuse will be interrupted, and the treatment of your headaches will be more efficient.

Male | 16
It might be that you underwent a seizure. Blurry vision, blacking out, and shaking may result from seizures. There are various causes of seizures such as sleep deprivation and fever. It's crucial to get an appointment with a neurologist to figure out what happened and give you the right treatment to ensure your safety and health.
