Before getting worried and/or taking stronger drugs, here are some simple things you could try for your headaches:
First, drink more water. One thing that can cause headaches is simply not drinking enough water to properly hydrate the body. Start the morning with a big glass of water, then have five or six more glasses throughout the day, and see if that eliminates or reduces the number of headaches.
Second, make sure you're getting at least seven hours of sleep a night. Fatigue can cause headaches, too.
Third, if you are already drinking plenty of water and getting enough sleep, but you're still having headaches, you might try using magnets. I used to have headaches all the time until I started sleeping on a magnetic mat and wearing a magnetic necklace; now I hardly ever have one.
Only your doctor should advise you as to what medicine to take, but if one of these ideas works for you, you won't need the medicines. And there are no side-effects to water, sleep and magnets. (If you are taking Advil every day, it could actually be CAUSING you to have "rebound" headaches!)

Headaches are tricky. You need to start paying a little more attention to the where, when, and hows of your headaches.
For instance, when do you usually notice that you have a headache? Is it in the morning when you wake up? If it is, then it could be a number of things. You could have slept wrong and your neck muscles could have been strained causing you to have a headache. Or, it could be sinus.
Maybe it's eye strain or dry eyes. It might even be allergies.
Do you eat right? Do you drink enough fluids?
I guess if the advil works, then continue on taking it.
Hope you feel better. Be glad that they usually go away.
I get migraines and they hang around sometimes for a week.

one million. When is the final time you had a headache? Couple of years (consistent one) two. What did you are taking to your headache? Advil three. When is the final time you had a hangover headache? About every week in the past four. What labored for this headache? Time five. What does not paintings in any respect to your complications? Banging my head in opposition to a wall 6. Do you get stupid complications or throbbing complications? I traditionally do certainly not get complications. When I do (consistent ones) they're traditionally stupid. A sizzling bathtub or truly well therapeutic massage works wonders. A chiropractor might support too to get you again in running order!

Get a second or third opinion, headaches are not to be taken lightly, especially daily ones.
My answer sounds so lame now that other people have answered. I had migraines when I was very very young and with all of them I ended up in the hospital for at least 3 days, words I can remember were dehydration, bronchitis, fever of 103 and rising. I was to young to know if there was an explanation for them. The last one I had was when I was 22, being older the explanations still did not come. I remember the agony of them. I hope your situation improves, I could not imagine having headaches daily. I'm sorry and do hope you get other opinions, and feel better.

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

It may be because you may be dehydrated. I read that you can get headaches from being dehydrated, its accually one of the first signs of it. If you start to get a headache try drinking some water and maybe laying or sitting down for a while. And I hope this helps.
