Iv had this pain in my left side of my temple kind of for about 2 weeks now it's just a continuous pain? Surely it's something really serious cancer??? Tumor??? Bleed to brain. My mind is going crazy!!!! I don't really want to go to doctors for it, when I press down on where the pain is it hurts but kind of makes it go away for a couple of minutes, Iv taken painkillers nothing is seeming to work surely this ain't from stress this has just come out of nowhere .. I'm 21 I really need some reinsuance I'm just so scared

I've had this type of pain before. I think it has to do with anxiety. But going to a doctor can't hurt. I'm pretty sure it's not anything too serious like cancer as you mentioned. But if you're truly concerned, you might want to go to a doctor, but I think you'll be okay. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I always have pain in my face, temple lower mandible, front of neck.... This is caused from clenching your jaw at night. Clenching is very common in people with anxiety. I also get headaches from this. Hope this helps:). Try a night guard...

Do u have a bad tooth ? I have this pain as we speak and my wisdom tooth at the bottom has to come out! Just had a filling replaced and its been hurting none stop ever since! Kaaayla don't worry too much about it but going to the Dr might ease your mind a bit I did yesterday I thought that I had a middle ear infection but it was my tooth.

People with cancer and tumours have seizures,episodes of fainting and many more symptoms than just pain. Stress factors can create headaches. Try to drink enough water , relax aswell. Im certain you don't have any of those. People experience a lot of episodes of seizures. My advise see your doctor to calm yourself down and keep yourself hydrated.

I get this pain on the exact side as you and I usually find its due to stress . My g.p said it's a form of migraine . As I've had this for 41 years I can assure you it's not cancer . I usually have a day in bed with complete darkness if I don't then it starts the ibsD which isn't very pleasant either . I would certainly suggest going to the doctor so that you can put your mind at rest. It's certainly not a tumour or a bleed . Go to the g.p and good luck . 🤗

I would go to the doctors. I don't think it's cancer or a tumor.. I believe you'd have other symptoms that would indicate cancer/tumor other than a pain in the temple. Sometimes we get weird pains that are inexplicable. If you aren't having double vision, nausea, and other issues like that than I wouldn't suspect cancer or a tumor.

Yes I have this a lot. To relieve it, I find the spot where it hurts. I gently press down until it stops hurting. Without lifting my finger, I press down a little harder until once again the pain goes. I keep doing this until I can't press down further. I also gently massage my temples. It will ease off. Use a warm moist flannel as well. All facial muscles need to be loosened. Good luck!
