Patient's question:
I've been experiencing almost daily headaches every morning for the past year. Usually, it's one side of the head that hurts while the other side doesn't. Besides the pain, I also feel a tightness around my temples, as if they're throbbing. After going to bed and during the day, I get migraines. What can I do about this throbbing sensation around my head?Doctor's answer:
20-year-old young woman, experiencing headaches every morning upon getting up, with a throbbing sensation and a pulsating pain in the temples. In this case, the first consideration might be neuralgia. It could be related to overtime work, insufficient sleep, improper sleeping posture at night, or factors like stomach upset. If concerned, this situation can be improved. A thorough cranial CT scan should be conducted to rule out cranial diseases. If there are no issues, it is necessary to eliminate these triggers and consider taking nerve-regulating medications for treatment.
