@OP sounds like migraine to me. Mine are usually in my right or left temple, so similar region, and it's one of most common spots. How the pain has changed will be useful to doctor, so good job keeping track. Unusual that this is your first, but not unheard of. Think about the past few days- any new foods, smells, exercises, sounds, or unusual weather, sleep, stress, eating habits? May be helpful to figure out the trigger.

I wrote this on a post last week and I am the first to admit that it sounds crazy, but it got to the root of one of my migraine triggers. Google lone star tick and beef. I'm at the point where even if I have yogurt that has milk from a cow, I get a debilitating migraine for two days. Only thing that helps is Benadryl. Dr confirmed the beef allergy with a blood test. It is tricky bc beef broth can be added to BBQ sauce, gravy, and soups. The allergy can also expand to other red meats. I still have other migraine triggers, but treating this one reduced my migraines by 70%. Good luck, OP! Also, as for them lasting for a long time, if you don't stop and rest as soon as you feel it coming on, it can last longer, at least in my opinion.
