I can have up to 15 headaches a day

Hello guys, I have been getting frequent (talking up to 15) headaches a day, around 3 of these horrendously painful. They  start being pain all over my head and as they progress they become more specific to right side of my head, they make me very exhausted and achey, but my eye sight stays normal. when i have these headaches i feel as if i am not quite on the same planet. Anyway i have been to the doctors and they wont give me a straight answer as to what they could be, some say they are due to a trapped nerve and one today, well she just said oh they are headaches. This year alone i have had 3 vasovagal faints and am beginning to go very fain when just stood up or sat down. As i am only 13 years old i know there aren't any pain killers they can prescribe me. I have toyed with the idea of having an MRI scan but my mum wont take me seriously. Any way what are you're thoughts on what my headaches may be and how i can go about stopping them (i at all i can) many thanks Joe Wright.

i suppose it could be cluster headaches. but as im under the age of 16 i guess i dont matter to the NHS. Its not good, I cant concentrate in class, im in tears over them. Im Just at the end of my teather with them. My step Dad also suffers from cluster headaches and the doctors gave him proananol and simatriptan.

I have a problem with headaches recently. I have a headache all day long, some days its annoying and others its barely noticable. my doc diagnosed me with cluster headache. and put me on verapamil. your symptoms seem to match those of a cluster headache.

In 7 days, you will start to feel the difference, but it may take up to 4 months to  get back to normal. After you are better, continue the anulom vilom once a day for rest of life to stay healthy.
Keep your eyes closed when doing the breathing.

Start doing this today, and come back to report your progress.Drink warm water.
Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute.
Anulom Vilom –
Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril  
then – close left nostril with two fingers and breath-out through right nostril  
then -keeping the left nostril closed  deep breath-in through right nostril
then - close your right nostril with thumb and breath-out through left nostril.
This is one cycle of anulom vilom.
Repeat this cycle for 15 to 30  minutes twice a day.
Children under 15 years – do 5 to 15 minutes twice a day.
You can do this before breakfast/lunch/dinner or before bedtime or in bed.Remember to take deep long breaths into the lungs.You can do this while sitting on floor or chair or lying in bed.
