🔹 Common reasons for one-sided headache 1️⃣ Migraine (most common) Pain on one side Severe, throbbing Worse with lack of sleep May have nausea, sensitivity to light/sound Can last hours to days 👉 Your trigger (lack of sleep) fits migraine very strongly. 2️⃣ Tension + nerve involvement Constant pressure-type pain Neck, shoulder tightness Often one side dominates Stress & poor sleep worsen it 3️⃣ Sinus-related pain Pain around eye, forehead, cheek Heaviness, nasal blockage Worse in morning or cold weather 4️⃣ Cluster headache (less common but severe) Very severe, sharp pain Around one eye/temple Comes in attacks Often associated with eye watering or redness 🚨 When one-sided headache is serious Please do not ignore if you have: Sudden worst headache of life Weakness, speech problem Vision loss Vomiting without nausea Headache waking you from sleep 👉 These need urgent medical evaluation. 🧠 In your case (based on your answers) Duration: > 6 months Severity: Severe Trigger: Lack of sleep ➡️ Most likely diagnosis: Migraine with sleep deprivation trigger ✅ What YOU should do now (step-by-step) 🔹 1️⃣ Fix sleep first (this is the KEY) Fixed sleep time daily Sleep before 11 pm No mobile screen 1 hour before sleep Dark, quiet room Migraine brain is very sensitive to sleep loss. 🔹 2️⃣ Immediate relief measures Cold compress on left temple Dark, silent room Avoid bright light & noise during pain 🔹 3️⃣ Diet & habits (very important) ❌ Avoid Skipping meals Excess tea/coffee Junk & packaged food Late-night eating ✅ Prefer Regular meals Warm water Light, home-cooked food 🔹 4️⃣ Stress & nerve calming Slow deep breathing (10 min morning & night) Gentle neck stretching Avoid prolonged screen time 🌿 Ayurvedic perspective (simple) One-sided headache usually involves: Vata imbalance (nerves) Pitta involvement (throbbing, severity) Ayurveda focuses on: Sleep regulation Nervine calming Gut–brain balance ⏳ How long before improvement? 1–2 weeks: intensity reduces 3–4 weeks: frequency reduces 2–3 months: good control possible (If lifestyle + treatment is consistent) 🩺 What I strongly recommend Because pain is severe and chronic (>6 months): Get a doctor evaluation (neurology/physician) If not done already: basic exam ± imaging (only if advised) This is for reassurance, not because something bad is expected.
