I've been having a strange headache for almost a week now - it's like a mild constant pain but only at a specific point in my head (in the upper back right side of my head). Sometimes it almost goes away, and sometimes it seems stronger. I'm 26 years old and I've never had common headaches before; even when I did, they were like the usual tension headaches, on the forehead area or all head in general. I currently don't have any other symptoms, sometimes I get my right ear a bit clogged when I walk/talk but it doesn't happen often. I've done some googling and now I can't stop thinking about all the serious things it could be, like tumor or aneurysm.. Because of the current situation in my country I cannot make a test for that anytime soon unless it's an emergency.. So maybe someone could give me any advice if it's something I should be too worried about? Is it normal to have pain only at one point?
my mom and my brother in law both had brain aneurysms that burst. you would know if it were a brain aneurysm. it is said to be the most excruciating pain you have ever felt.
i know it made my BIL vomit it hurt so bad ( he did not survive) and my mom was telling my brother how horrible her head hurt beforehand . Afterwards, she had a stroke and lost communication skills:(
i have suffered with migraines for probably 30 years now and asked my dr how id know if I was having a brain aneurysm burst or if it were a normal migraine to which he responded ‘You will know!’
i know nothing about brain tumors so i cant chime in about that. i hope you get answers soon.
i did find this info on a website ( i wanted to look because my first thight was tension and with all the stress we all are under now - it made the most sense
Pain in the right side and back of the head
Tension headaches
Tension headaches are the most common cause of pain. These headaches occur in the back and right side of the head. They may include a tightness of the neck or scalp. They feel like a dull, tight constricting pain that isn’t throbbing.
hope you find relief!!

Every patient’s pain experience is unique, but headaches associated with brain tumors tend to be constant and are worse at night or in the early morning. They are often described as dull, “pressure-type” headaches, though some patients also experience sharp or “stabbing” pain
