Headache :(

Headaches can be debilitating and interfere with the ability to work and 

carry out daily activities. For some, headaches are chronic while others 

get them intermittently. They can occur on just the left side or all 

throughout the head and face. There are many causes and situations that 

trigger left-sided headaches. The first step is to have the cause of any 

headache properly diagnosed. Part of that process is to be aware of the 

history of symptoms, and informing a doctor that they only occur on one 

side. This will help to narrow down the cause of a left-sided headache, 

which will help with formulating an effective treatment approach.

Abnormal Blood Flow

Migraines can start and stay localized on one side of the head, states the University of Maryland Medical Center. While the exact cause of migraines is still not well understood, it is believed that the blood vessels first constrict and then expand, allowing an increase of blood to a specific area of the brain, which creates pressure and pain. This can happen in any area of the head or just on the left side. Alcohol, diet, stress, loud sounds, smells and many other triggers can cause a migraine to occur.
