Usually when I have a seizure I'll have a horrible headache. I've noticed that the seizure headache is always in the same place on my head, just in one spot on the right hand side. If I have a normal headache it will be across my full forehead.

Is it normal to have that seizure headache in the same spot every time?
 
I have left temporal lobe epilepsy, and usually after I have a seizure, my head hurts worst on my left side. All the doctors Ive seen during my lifetime has told me its common for my head to hurt in the area where the epilepsy is located at. So I think its normal for that to happen.
 
After a partial-complex or a TC seizure, I'll get a right-side migraine focused on one spot above and slightly in front of my right ear.
Pretty sure that's normal, if they originate from a specific region
 
i thought i was the only one..... hours b4 a sezure i will get real stabbing pain in left hand side of my head beside my eye.......... i get it alot now without the sezures but even worse b4 1
 
I used to get alot of headaches after a complex partial seizure & they were usually on the left side of my forehead. Sometimes I used to wake up with one of these annoying headaches on my left side which made me think I may have had a seizure in my my sleep.

Sometimes the headaches wouldn't last long, but other times they would last for the rest of the day & I would need to have a nap to get rid of them.
