Your excessive stomach/GB Meridian might have blockage on right side temple. If acidity it confirms.
Reasons and remedies are many, but pl see what suits you.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.
If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help.
Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief.
There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes.
None of them can be treated with medicine.
Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.
Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, all cold things.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits like dates, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there. If cough use warm things.
If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.
It may disappear naturally too.

If it's in your temple then you should go see a doctor. This might not be serious but you should go to the doctor just in case. You might be getting the flu or some other sickness.

Look at your medical history. If having headaches is unusual for you, this may be a big cause for concern that you shouldn't ignore.
Some possible causes are that you're giving your body too much sleep (or too little). With excedrin pm I always end up sleeping for a long time and get a rebound headache from it. Are you trying to quit something? Caffeine, cigarrettes? Are you drinking enough water? If you haven't changed your diet or eaten too much of one thing, it's probably not a food thing, esp if you haven't had this problem before. Could be the flu or something, do you have a fever, or any other symptoms? Do you have unusual stress right now? Could you be pregnant?
If it doesn't go away in 2 days, making it a whole week, go see your family doctor. They can usually figure out if its something serious and order tests for it. Occasionally they'll give you a shot and you'll be practically a big glob of goo for about 24 hours, but then you'll know if its a tension headache or not since that'll make all your muscles mush and relax anything that's freaking out in your muscles. If that still doesn't knock out your headache, they'll order more tests from there.
Have you been under a lot of stress lately? A lot of people (me included) grind their teeth in their sleep when they have a lot on their mind. It's called bruxism. Try clenching your jaw really hard with your fingers pressed against your temple - those little muscles up there get really worked. Now imagine how they feel after you've been dreaming (and grinding) about bad stuff at work, relationships, family, etc for 20 minutes.
Dentists charge $500 to make a thing you wear in your mouth to protect your teeth and to ease grinding. But if you check out the do-it-yourself dentist section of the pharmacy - yes, there is such a section in most big US pharmacies - they have a kit you can make one for $20 or so.
I don't know sweetie, but it sounds serious, make sure to get it checked out by the doc. Hope you feel better, sorry I cant give any suggestions.
