Hi!I'm a 30 year old female and I have been getting headaches all my life like anybody else but just in the last 2 years of my life it seems like the headaches are getting worse in the last month I've have a headache everyday..I go to sleep with one and wakeup with one.I'ts always on the left side of my head right above my eyebrow and lately followed by sharp shooting pain on my right side temple and also I've been having pain on the left side of chest and arm.I'm really scared because i dont have any insurance to see a doctor...Can you PLEASE tell me what i can do Thanks J :)
The incessant nature of chronic daily headaches makes them among the most disabling headaches. Aggressive initial treatment and steady, long-term management may reduce pain and lead to fewer chronic daily headaches. If your headaches are getting worse then consult your doctor. You need to get help tell your doctor about it for sure he might have something to help you.

Hi,
Thanks for the update. Yes, I agree that for further evaluation to be done, additional tests and consulting a specialist may be indicated. If there are hearing symptoms also, you may benefit from seeing an ENT doctor. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.

Hi,
Thank you so much for your response!I'm sorry it took so long for me to respond back.I was on vacation and had no access to a PC.Well unfortunatley the hospital her in town where I live doesn't have that but there is a clinic where you pay by how much you make so i was going to do that but I'm afraid there going to tell me that the'll have to be seen by a specialist because last year I was having chest pain and pain and numbness in my left arm and I was seen at that clinic.The doctor did an EKG test and said everything was fine with my heart and that the only thing he could recommend for me would to be seen by a specialist to have more test done and that it would cost a lot of money since I don't have any insurance.

Hi,
How are you? Chronic daily headaches may refer to a broad range of headache disorders. Over-use of pain relief medication, and primary headaches such as chronic migraine or transformed migraine, chronic tension type headache, new daily persistent headache and hemicrania continua may be responsible. It is best that you have this checked by your doctor. If there is no insurance, you could inquire at your local hospitals if they have free check-ups for direct evaluation. Different preventive treatment options exist for each type of headache. Take care and do keep us posted.
