I have sharp pain in my right temple that last for 3 days now. It repeats every minute or couple minutes and last maybe 3 sec. It woke me up at night. The pain was so strong that I felt tingling in right hand and fingers.
Should I worry or go to the doctor?

Headache and Migraines Answer A10573
Have you tried any over the counter pain killers? If so, has it helped? If it continues for more than a week I recommend getting it checked out by your primary care physician. You may also consider seeing a chiropractor or massage therapist to loosen some of the muscles around your neck. Good luck.
