Constant headache on right side of head
Problem: Headache since 4-5 months. Got the MRI done & reports came fine. Got the blood tests done, Vitamin B & D levels were low, rest was fine.
Symptoms: It's focused on the right side of the head. I can feel a throbbing nerve just above my ear. I can hear it in my ear too at times. I haven't been able to diagnose any patterns. It's mostly constant (intensity may vary).
My understanding: Based on reading online, pulsatile tinnitus, occipital neuralgia or migraine are the terms that pop up. How to differentiate between these? Should I be visiting an ENT specialist or a neurologist?

Hi.... Self-care measures can help ease the pain of a headache.
Try muscle relaxation exercises. Relaxation may help ease the pain of a headache.
Relaxation techniques may include progressive muscle relaxation, meditation or yoga.
Get enough sleep, but don't oversleep. Get an adequate amount of sleep each night. It's best to go to bed and wake up at regular times, as well.
Rest and relax. If possible, rest in a dark, quiet room when you feel a headache coming on.
Next Steps
Consult Neurologist....
