I'm really worried because I've been having this warm feeling on the left side of my brain for the past few weeks. Sometimes it even affects my face and the area behind my ear. But today, I experienced a sharp pain in my head along with the warm sensation. I'm not sure what's going on. I'm also caring for my 11-month-old baby, and I need to feel well to take care of her. Can you please help me figure out what this might be?
