Sharp pain in left side of head

2021-08-09 13:15:33
Since 10-15 days, I am experiencing sharp pains in the left side of my head(skull area). It feels that the pain comes from deep inside the head, from top to bottom, and sometimes only on top or only on bottom of head and very rarely on the right side of head too. No pain in the forehead. Also, a bit pain on the left side of my face. Can the pain be due to my eyesight ? Because my vision has reduced. The pain remains for 4-5 seconds and comes in 3-4 hours. I have no other symptoms. I am really worried. Please help 🙏

Could be. If after wearing correct glasses the headache does not subside, then Consult Neurologist/Neurosurgeon
