What is the cause for severe pain in the left temple?
Patient: I have a severe pain in my left temple. It feels like a headache, but it's the worst I've ever felt. It's almost completely isolated to my left temple. I start to sweat when it hurts the worst. It's been happening for about 3 days now. What could this be? Doctor: HiI understand your concern.You need to investigate yourself for differential diagnosis.If it is associated with blurring of vision/difficulty in walking/giddiness/nausea and vomiting etc then go for investigation.1st thing is require is fundas examination.It will shows any papillodeama  that suggest raise in interracial tension.MRI brain will helpful to rule out any pressure producing lesion or space occupying lesions.Analgesic like paracetamol help to reduce pain.If all report come normal then we have to think about migraine associated with tension type headache.But go for reports 1st then consult neurologist if require.Still have query then feel free to ask.Thank you.get well soon.
