Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If the headache has been for last 5 days only, then it could be poor sleep due to some reason or a high BP. You could also be having ‘benign intracranial hypertension’ (BIH). This happens due to impaired CSF absorption. A generalized throbbing headache worst felt in the morning and last thing at night. This headache is generally relieved on standing (consistent with raised intracranial pressure). It is aggravated by straining, coughing or a change in position. Sinusitis is another cause of morning headaches. TTake steam and see if it helps. It could also be cluster headache, migraine, or tension headache. Sometimes migraines do not have triggers. Please consult a neurologist.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Do consult a neurologist. Take care!
