Sounds like you might be having a migraine, but you need to see a good neurologist so that the proper tests can be ran to make the right diagnosis and then get you on the right medication. The medications they have now days is great compared to when my migraines were first diagnosed, so you are lucky. The sooner you get this diagnosed the better you will feel. Good luck and God Bless!!!

The headache could be caused by a Sinus infection it would cause pressure in your head and is very painful, you could try something over the counter like Tylenol Sinus.

Could be sinus. I get headaches a lot and when I get sinus headaches that is what it feels like. I just learned this trick that if you put VICKS on your forehead or where ever it hurts it elevates the pain. It has to do with the eucalyptus in it. Hot and cold cloths work too.

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 available at

Headaches are the tension in the muscles that lay on your skull, a headache could happen if you happen to be addicted to caffine and haven't had any. I have also realized that the majority of everyday problems with your body are the result of dehydration...H2O!!!! DRINK IT!!!!
(Fun fact: When you feel very thristy, your body needed the hydration 2 hours before you felt it)

It sounds like a migraine, I get them and if I put my fingers next to my nose and my thumb in front of my temple and squeeze, it feels better, like I'm releasing pressure from behind my eyes. Best thing I find is a nap, otherwise drink a lot of water.
They're not nice :( I hope you feel better soon.

Go see a chiropractor. Only a doctor can give a true diagnosis after doing a complete history and completing physical or other exams.
