Bloody headache

Went to bed about half an hour ago and began reading whilst lying on my side, then developed an ache in the left side of my face/head - not sure if its centred on the jaw to be honest. Ive taken a paracetamol and after I got up to fetch tablet the pain had gone within a couple of mins. So I lay back down and it came back. Any suggestion?

Is it any better on the other side - or if you give your neck a gentle massage?
