How To Treat Left Sided Headache?

I rarely have had any issues with headaches, migranes or other, in fact most of the time I am headache free. I have been workign in SAudi Arabia fro about 4 years now, I am 48, 5'6", I am overweight by 100 lbs - but otherwise in good health - I eat OK, I do exercise , recetnyl I've had this dull pain(or even just discomfort) -left side of face -it seem to be around the cheekbone or thereabouts and I have had a full exam on teeth -so no absyss -- any ideas before I go to the doctors?

thought it might be grinding teeth at night -that is a posssibility

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

According to history you have mild dull headache ...
So nothing seems much serious now. ..
This short time headache could be temporary from .....
/Exertional headache
/Tension headache
/lack of sleep
/diet irregularity etc...

Take simple analgesic if needed...
Avoid stress....
While working on computer take 5 minute break after working for 45 minute ...
Enough sleep ..
Avoid smoking.

Get your ear also examined to rule out reffred headache....

Take care
