A headache on only the right side of your head may result from migraine or a tension headache. But it can also be an indicator of an underlying condition.
Headaches can cause a dull throbbing or an intense ache and pain in different areas, including the right side of your scalp, base of your skull, and your neck, teeth, or eyes.
While headaches can be uncomfortable, they’re unlikely to be “brain pain.” The brain and skull don’t he nerve endings, so they won’t cause pain directly. Instead, a wide range of factors can affect headaches, from lack of sleep to caffeine withdrawal. Migraine, meanwhile, is a neurological condition.
There are many types of headaches, but only certain types will be felt on just the right side of your head. Read on to learn more about these types of headaches, their causes, and how to treat them.
