Sharp Pulsating Pain In The Top Right Side Of The Head In A 75 Year Old Female Which Comes Immediately On Bending.
For the past 3 days my wife, age 75, has been experiencing sharp, pulsating pain in the top, right side of her head. If she bends over suddenly, the pain comes on immediately. She is in good health & has an active life style - walks 3-4 times per week for 2 miles.

Hi, pain in head while bending can mean anything from mild cervical spine problem to serious brain diseases. First check her blood pressure, hemoglobin and hydration. Most of the pains will go away spontaneously. If it persists, you may need to consult a physician. Hope this helps.
