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?

Pinching Pain in Lung Area
Possible Causes
- Musculoskeletal strain: Strained muscles in your chest, back, or ribcage can cause pinching pain.
- Costochondritis: Inflammation of the cartilage that connects your ribs to your breastbone can cause sharp pains.
- Pleurisy: Inflammation of the lining surrounding your lungs can cause chest pain that worsens with breathing.
- Pulmonary issues: Conditions like pneumonia, bronchitis, or asthma can cause chest pain and discomfort.
Immediate Actions
- Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a pulmonologist to discuss your symptoms.
- Get a chest X-ray: To rule out any underlying pulmonary issues.
- Try relaxation techniques: Practice deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga to help manage stress and alleviate pain.
Self-Care Measures
- Apply heat or cold: Use a warm or cold compress to help relax the muscles and reduce pain.
- Stretch gently: Avoid heavy exercise, but try gentle stretching to help loosen tight muscles.
- Rest: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover.

I banged my head pretty hard on the garage door when it was going up last night. I didnt pass out, there's no blood, and I haven't thrown up or anything, but there's this burning sensation and a slight headache going on. The ER doc said it's not a concussion, but I'm kind of worried. How would I know if there's any internal bleeding? And also, should I consider pausing my birth control pills while I'm figuring this out?
Monitoring for Internal Bleeding_ 1. *Watch for worsening headache*: If your headache worsens or becomes severe, seek immediate medical attention. 2. *Look for other symptoms*: Monitor for symptoms like: - Dizziness or loss of balance - Nausea or vomiting - Blurred vision or sensitivity to light - Confusion or disorientation - Weakness or numbness in arms or legs 3. *Seek immediate medical attention if you experience*: - Sudden severe headache - Difficulty speaking or swallowing - Weakness or paralysis in face, arm, or leg - Vision changes or double vision _Birth Control Pills_ As a precautionary measure, consider stopping your birth control pills temporarily until you're cleared by your doctor. Birth control pills can increase the risk of blood clots, which may be a concern if you have internal bleeding. _Follow-up_ Schedule a follow-up appointment with your primary care physician or a neurologist within the next 24-48 hours to reassess your symptoms and determine the best course of action.

I'm really worried about my situation. I've been having these really severe headaches lately and on top of that, I'm dealing with a lot of stress. It's like a vicious cycle because the stress just seems to make the headaches worse. What could be causing this, and what can I do to get some relief? It's becoming really hard to manage daily tasks.
It sounds like he's experiencing a tension headache, likely triggered by stress, which is exacerbating his existing migraine condition (siviour headache); recommend relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to help manage stress,
