I am not prone to headaches but I have this pain on the left side of my head that will hurt for 5-30 minutes then it goes away for a little while but comes back. I may not have any pain for most of the day then it comes out of nowhere. Even taking OTC pain relievers doesn't help.

Your question caught my eye because I have been experiencing the same thing in my right temple and it seems to happen at about the same time each day. Every time it has happened my right nostril has stopped up and the pain is almost more than I can stand. The only possible thing I could find that matched my symptoms was cluster headaches. I hope your pain isn't that intense but if it is you might search "cluster headaches" and see what some of the sites that come up have to say about them.. From what I have learned, there are no cures but they recommend diets that may help and they do say that OTC drugs are too slow acting to have any effect on them. They do have some inhalers that help to a degree....Good Luck...

Muscles get knots called trigger points. These make the muscles tight causing them to press on nerves and other thing.
Pain can be referred from places other than the head.
#1 The first thing is to take a couple swigs of molasses or eat a couple of bananas. They contain magnisium and potassium both of which muscles need.
#2 WATER she should be drinking 1/2 gallon minimum. The head of neurology at UCDavis likens a body running low on water to a car running low on oil (the engine can seize).
Get a good (deep tissue) massage (to loosen the trigger points) on the back, shoulders and neck. Make sure to press up at the base of the skull where it meets the spine.
You rub or lightly scratch everywhere on your head. You will hit spots that are tender these are trigger points. The idea is to rub across them 6-12 times per session up to six times per day until they go away.
For more information on trigger points read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.

Does anyone in your family get migraines? You could have inherited them. If so, then the pain you describe would be a very low level of migraine.
Do you have sinus pressure? It could be a sinus headache.
