Long hadache for weeks..

Ok i have been having this non stop headache for about 4 weeks the pain is located behind both of my eyes.
I just had my eyes checked and i got glasses because the doc said my eye was straining, even with the glasses its no help i still have this headache.
The pain isnt that bad at all just annoying but the weird thing i notice is that when im running around outside the headache seems to be gone.
and when im relaxing it creeps up again.
Im not sure if it would be a tumor im almost 18 years old so i don't know what the chances of me having a tumor is but im scared.
Im gonna go see a doctor soon i would just like to know what you think it could possibly be.

A good eye exam actually is a good screening for brain tumors.

It could be so many things from blood pressure to hormones to migraines... it really does take a full history and a doctor to figure out headaches. I hope your doctor figures out yours and I am glad you are going. Especially since the glasses are not helping.
