You might suffer from migranes just like my mom and I, go to the doctor and have him prescribe you some medicine. It really works! With migranes not just any headache medicine will work. My mom uses excedrine but you need to have a doctor prescribe you an over the counter medication. Hope that helps! In the mean time, put a cold icepack on your head or even a bag of ice will work.

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

Go along and get checked out. It could be anything. If a headache persists for more than a day or two, it's best to get it seen to.
Causes of headaches can range from neck problems to blood pressure to viral infections to who knows what....
Get it checked out.

I get these all the time, I believe it is hormonal. I've been getting exactly these types of headache since my early 30s, I'm now 40. Try ibuprofen when you feel them coming on or they last forever.

Do you know what I think. I think it's tension/stress. I have had a headache for a few days, I know Christmas was very stressful for me, trying to please everyone, except myself. Relax, breath, the more you worry the longer it will stay. If you are truly worried and it's affecting your daily routine, get it checked out at the doctors.

Goodness me.....you are a worrier........no wonder you have headaches. Drink more water/fruit juices, and take the occasional paracetamol. Plus get some fresh air and avoid too much stuffy atmosphere.

See your GP tomorrow, otherwise you'll be suffering all over the weekend. Take a pain relief pill overnight, then go to your GP first thing tomorrow - NO appointment, just go.

You should probably see a doctor just as a precaution. Unless you have other symtoms like vomiting, bloody nose, etc. you shouldn't be worried.
