  5. Ive been feeling this warm sensation on the left side of my head for the past few weeks. It sometimes spreads to my face and behind my ear. But today, I had this sharp shooting pain along with the warmth, and it's making me really worried. I have an 11-month-old baby to take care of, so I'm really concerned. Any idea what might be causing this?
