I also have a pain like this. It starts as a tingling on the top, left side of my head then proceeds to my jaw, lasting only a minute or so at times.
My mother is a nurse and she suggested the pain as stress related, which makes sense somewhat. I also have sinus problems and believe that it contributes to this pain.
I've found that taking Tylenol helps. I am glad that other people know what I am going through!

so, i found it kinda funny when i typed "Pain in left side of the head" and this page came up!
i couldn't believe how many people are having the exact same stupid pain. some have even gone to the extent of having MRI's and such, it scares the piss outta me.
these pains just started 2 days ago.
we're going thru 32hr work weeks at work(so, not enough money at home), bills are pilling up and the car just recently started to misbehave, so yeah, i am under alot of stress! plus high cholesterol(doc says i have the cholesterol of a 70yr old, 250lb guy when i am 27 yr old, 160lb)
anyways, i will definately try to relax more and talk it over with my doc. i even told the wife that if i fall over all of a sudden to dial 911, how scary is that?
good luck to everyone, hopefully it is just a stupid pain and it isn't anything serious.

Yeah for a few months now i have had the same problem. Its always on the left side of my head and its not a headache because when i have those it feels as if my head is pounding and I sort of feel a pulse. This is like a sharp pain a few inches from my ear and only ever on the left side of my head.
Im short sighted, and the man who looks at my eyes each year told me one eye was weaker then the other. Anyway im scheduled to go back to him very soon so im going to ask him which eye is the weak one and whether that might be the cause of my pain. Sometimes the pain is so bad i cant sleep at night which makes me stay up until the early hours in the morning. I really would like an answer to it though.
When i go to eye opticians, if i get any news i'll come back and post what he said. Just incase anybody else out there see's this :-)

Hi, Im 24 and ive been haveing the same type of pain too. For about a year now, It comes and goes,Randomly. It only stays for about a coupple of seconds, and then gone again... sometimes it can stay and go for a full day. But It usually just hit's me and then thats it. It hits me on the left side of my head, right above my ear. It feels like pressure... or like someone is eather squeezing that part of my brain, or something is expanding. Sometimes i also feel a pressure type of pain in the roof of my mouth... in my teeth... but not allways... Thats the best way i can explaine it. Its allways in, or around the same spot. I thaught it was because i was drinking to much pop. So i cut out the pop... I never had the pain for a while, but it came back. My boyfriend is telling me it's anxiety... My mom is telling me its my ear's ( I went to Bon Jovi, Kiss and AC/DC within 3 months and i think i did some damage lol ) I went to the Dr. and he asked me if i had any history of aneurysm's in my family ... ( and my aunt had one ) He set me up for a Cat Scann. But that date hasent come yet. Im Verry terrifed... I guess i should also say, On my 16th Birthday i got hit in the head with a hockey puck at a game.... Cuncussion, stiches the whole works... When I get that pain its around the same spot as the scar from the puck. ... If this sounds like something someone else is having. Please... let me know.

I have pain in the left side of my head. I've had it since I was a teenager. It was much worse then.I'm 51 now.I just commented the other day that I haven't had an episode in a while then bam. The pain is like sharp, electric volts shooting along a spot in my head. It comes over and over again kind of jolts the whole left side. Painkillers don't help. Nothing helps. I know when isn't fully gone because when the pain isn't shooting, the nerve feels sort of numb so I know another pain will follow. I know something triggers it but I can never figure out what. I've done some research on my own and the pain is like that of neuralgia but the neuralgia I have read about is normally in the facial nerves or arms.
I know it isn't life threatening because I've suffered with it for so many years but it sure feels like something is going to explode in there. I thought I was the only one that suffered this. Mine does sound somewhat different than the rest of yours. I don't have a blockage in the nostril. Just the shooting pains. They will last for about two or three weeks, then they disappear as fast as they came. I would really like to know what it is.

I am 19 yrs old and I have just started having these pains on the top left of my head an on the side left of my head, just abouve my left ear. It only tarted a few weeks ago, but it has affected my vision, where it becomes blurry and foggy. I sometimes cannot see and last week I actually passed out. I though I was dehydrated, so I have been drinking a gallon of water daily and it has not helped. When I stand up sometimes, I get a fuzzy, tingling feeling in my head and then a burst of pain follows. I do not know what this is and I am wondering if anyone has the same symptoms? The spot is very sore to the touch and tylenol and codine have not worked, I have not gotten an MRI or gone to any doctors bc this just started about 2 weeks ago. I though it was my eyes, because when I would read for a while it would become worse but I have 20-20 so I dont know what is causing it.

i have had this all my life. I never told anyone because i was afraid to. The pain and then sometimes when turning the head, a horrible pop, and a warm feeling that is tingly spreading from the left side of my head all over.. so scary, feel like you are going to die. i have no idea what this is , but am 40 now.. it comes and goes.. a long time ago i had a huge pop that hurt so bad i figured it it ever happened again I would die the next time. I woke up this morning, and have pain in the left side of my head, so am freaking out. googled it, i cant believe i am not the only one suffering from this.. never heard anyone else ever have it too.. of course was too freaked out to mention it to anyone else

I have pain on left side of my head. Pain seem to start from neck area and extend left side of my head. I was treated for sinus infection because I had on and off symptons of nasal blockage and achy jaw area. I was prescribed antibotics. I am in process to revisit my primary seeking other treatment for stiff pain mainly left side of head. I just turned 50 and hate to think this is what aging feels like . I hope to get a handle on this discomfort soon so I can continue to feel good about my new age.....Lol why not keep postitive regardless of the outcome.

I have had the same pain that has lasted since I was 12 years old. I am 29 now my migraines last for days and they do not go away. They cause me vision problems, vomiting, severe pain. This pain comes and goes at least 2 times a month, I am a very healthy eater. I drink lots of water. I exercise. I even read that chocolate and cheese cam cause it. I tend to avoid it all. The saddest part is that my son was diagnosed with epilepsy with a unknown reason why. He suffers from the pain that I go through. I wish I could live pain free. I'm just scared that one episode may lead to other severe or even fatal medical problems as I get older.
