I'm worried and not sure

So I've been having these headaches... I've visited the doctors 3 times now. First they said it was a Sinus infection and they gave me steroids for it. Still no change. Then I went to the hospital, they gave me a CT scan. Nothing came up and they said everything was fine but they put me on Amoxicillin, Ibuprofen, and Vicodin. No change. Then went to a new doctor. He said that it was a tension headache and put me on baclofen and diclofenac. Still no change. I'm not sure what to do now. It's been a month that I've had these headaches. I've woke up with it and gone to sleep with it. Lately it's getting more defined I guess you can say. I have these... "Warm spots" I get on my head when I move a certain way. Or like a pitching feeling on my head. I get chest pains. Sometimes hard to breath when I take a deep breath. Pain in my ears(not often) sore neck. I think I'm going to get an appointment with a specialist tomorrow, but the thing is I'm only 20, I have a PPO insurance and I live by myself. So money is a problem. Wanted you to keep that in mind. So what should I do...? Or better yet... What's wrong with me?

Actually, -- hopefully you'll read this soon -- look into the Obamacare thing:

Depending on your income, your insurance premiums can get a nice subsidy, and some people with plans with a good copay only have to pay 15 to see the doctor!

Then you can see the proper medical professionals, rather than be dictated by your wallet

Go for an alternative treatment like acupuncture. Sometimes, if medications don't work, natural treatments will do. Or if you want to get away from the pain, you can purchase a copper bracelet from Sabona. It is proven to help in relieving pain.

So, you've been to your doc and maybe an ENT. Have you seen a neurologist?
