One sided headaches are likely caused by migraine. However, there are many other causes of headache: sinus problem, a tooth issue, a pinched nerve, or stress. Best to document when it comes on and how long it stays and get an evaluation by a neurologist who is a headache specialist.

There are many reasons a patient might experience headache symptoms on the right side of their head. Since there are well over 100 different headache disorders and their treatment is based on a correct diagnosis, it is very important that patients with unexplained head pain seek treatment from a qualified physician.

Some potential diagnoses include:

  • Migraine
  • Hemicrania continua
  • Cluster headache
  • Intracranial hypertension
  • Cervicogenic headache
  • Brain tumor
  • Aneurism
  • Stroke

For appropriate diagnosis, treatment and prevention of headache disorders, seek the help of a board certified headache specialist.

Headache is a symptom, not a diagnosis, and it is impossible to tell from a single symptom what may be causing the problem.

For appropriate diagnosis, treatment and management of headache disorders and Migraine, please seek the help of a board certified headache and Migraine specialist.
