For the last week my head has been hurting on right side with stabbing pains fairly frequently. 2 years ago i had malignant melanoma taken out of forearm. Throughout my entire life i have had probably 2-3 headaches. Today i woke up & my right eye was swollen enough that husband also noticed. Is this something I should be worried about?
