Why am I getting a throbbing headache,top right side of head,with extreme sensitivity to scalp?
I have been feeling ill with some virus,and have had this throbbing headache,which comes and goes.My scalp is extremely sensitive to touch.This has been going on for about 5 days.Any comments? I feel extremely weary.I am sixty and female.
The pain you are experiencing could be a Migraine. The head pain that you may feel during a Migraine attack is usually one sided and can be throbbing. The scalp sensitivity you're experiencing is probably allodynia, "a painful response to a non-painful stimuli". It's not uncommon to have allodynia with a Migraine.Here's some information on it:
What is hyperalgesia? What is allodynia?

Here's really good information on Migraine:

Migraine - What Is It?

Types of Migraines and Headaches

A Migraine can last 5 days. I don't want to worry you but please remember the 72 hour rule: Pain from a Migraine lasting longer than 72 hours with less than 4 hours relief while awake is called "Status Migrainous" and requires immediate medical attention. Status Migrainous can cause stroke, coma and even death.
