Causes of pain in the right side of the head may have a more serious origin, be a consequence of a neoplasm in the brain.

Initially, that is, in the early stages of tumor formation, a person is not strongly disturbed by pain and has a headache in the back only in the neck area, not her right half.

As the tumor grows, the symptoms increase, the location of the localization moves and the half of the head on the right already hurts. Tumors are characterized by such manifestations as nausea, vomiting, rising and falling temperatures, severe pain in the neck, cramps and weight loss.

Problems with the spine often cause unpleasant sensations in the right hemisphere of the head. A person feels aching, dull pain or sharp pains above the ear on the right. She can still give to the neck.

In medicine there is such a thing as Kosten's syndrome, it is characterized by pain in the right hemisphere of the head, deterioration of hearing and inability to fully open the mouth.

The right half of the head of a man seems to be numb, and pulsating pains give to the neck and right eye.

Pain in one part of the head may appear in the morning after drinking alcohol. This state of man is explained by the fact that active substances of alcoholic drinks block the normal blood flow to the brain.
