I went back to the doc he said just take ibrophen and paracetamol after every meal for 7 days and see
If The pain don't go away then he will refer me to a neurologist

Yes sorry paxiled is right I ment to say cluster headaches

Tension headaches normely last abou 30 min or so

It could even be some sort of migraine

[Paxiled]

Tension headaches go away with some aspirin or Tylenol and the tension reduces.  I don't know what you have, I'm sure it's not a tumor, but it's more than a tension headache if it's been there that long.  Do you feel any accompanying nausea (could be a cluster headache, a form of migraine).  Could be anything.  Could be sinuses.  I'd go back to the doc.  In the meantime, I'd look into CBT and meditation or other relaxation techniques to at least help reduce some of these symptoms.

Sounds like a tension headache that can last anywhere from 1 to 15 days but follow it up with your dr
