Hello, my name is Trista and I'm a 17 year old female. I have some questions to ask. I'm a Hypochondriac and I let every little thing get to me, even when I have a normal cold I think it's more than that. Well I have a little indent on the side of my head it's on my left side and it's about 3 inches up from my ear but it's kind of on the top, and I was wondering if it's from my soft spot being there when I was a baby? It's been there close to 2 years now, but I'm just wondering what it can be from? Can it be a sign of a Brain Tumor or an Aneurysm or even anything serious? I've been getting headaches lately but there not bad ones, there minor ones but I've also never really gotten headaches a lot, can someone please help me? I'd really appreciate it Thank You.

The indent is probably just an indent that you are first noticing and nothing more. As for the headaches since they aren't severe and you seem to indicate that over the counter pain meds work for them then there is nothing to worry about. Many people have times in there lives when they seem to get more headaches than before. Stress as well as life style changes and or diet changes etc can all cause more or less headaches. You should find something constructive to use all the energy you spend worrying about your health.

as was said before, the indent is just something you are noticing now, but keep an eye on it from time to time so that it does not change into something more than go get it checked out. If regular pain meds are helping then you are ok unless they get worst. Try to control the stress before it control you, find an outlet for it. Taking this advice along with vitamin stress pills can help out.
