Treating Sharp Pain in Head and Jaw Posted: 07-16-06 10:44am
I have been eating healthily, drinking
lots of water, and getting lots of
exercise, which is normal for me. In the
past I would get throbbing, sharp pains on
the left side of my temple, but only now
and again. At times the pain would get so
sharp that I would feel dizzy. I havent
been experiencing that as often anymore,
but lately I have been getting that same
throbbing, sharp pain on the left side of
my face, by my jaw. I wonder if there is
something wrong, but I havent been to a
doctor yet. Does this sound like
something I should be concerned about?
What could it be?

It is hard determine the causes of a sharp
headache because there could be a million
reasons. You can try to take some aspirin.
If it doesn’t help, you can visit your
GP to ask for a physical examination and
diagnostic testing.
