One sided headache/soreness

[ForeverFat24]

Not really sure how this has come about but I've got such a bad headache, it's not debilitating, it's come on quite gradually, it's on one side of my head but kind of over the top of my head where my hair parting would be. It's a str age headache kind of feels a bit Burney but not deep inside my head if that makes sense. It feels more on the surface. I have health anxiety and I'm working myself into a frenzy, laid in bed wondering whether I will wake up or not in case I have a brain aneurysm etc etc. I can't ring 111 or go anywhere as my partner is saying I'm just being silly and he won't let me buy I feel very concerned just necaise it's such an odd sensation. Does anyone have any advice or words of comfort to calm me the hell down.

Have you had a headache like this before? It could be caused by your anxiety. Do you wear your hair up or in a tight hair style if so that could be a possibility too

Do you grind your teeth at night? Could be a tension headache. Look at YouTube for gentle face massages to relive tension headaches. I get them occasionally due to teeth grinding.

Do you go to A and E often?

I get this but it's an eye issue.

I do wear my hair up in a bun yes. (Long hair and a hair pulling toddler) The headache seems to have dissipated this morning but still there.

Not recently. I had an episode late 2022 where I spent a lot of time at doctor's hospital etc and have since been diagnosed with a chronic illness. I've not had a bad episode of anxiety for a while now.

I do actually. my dentist told my I grind my teeth, he could tell because I have tiny chips in my teeth. He gave me a night guard to wear but I couldn't get on with it.

I have this burny/tingly sensation in my scalp as part of my migraine symptoms. It's often improved with a scalp massage so i think it's to do with muscle tension x

I can almost guarantee it’s the teeth grinding. What’s the issue with the mouth guard? You could literally end up destroying your dentition.

It just feels super uncomfortable like almost painful.

The bite may be too high you should go back and see about getting it adjusted.
