Agree that you should let your doctor know. I'm sure they check you and you go to the doctor weekly now. I had high blood pressure when pregnant with my second. They monitor you. Do you have swelling or pitting of skin? See floaters?  Otherwise, Tylenol daily is not bad. Better than a headache! Try to get rest. And you are at the end of pregnancy, try having something with caffeine in it .  Sounds weird but caffeine can help. So rule out high bp and go from there. Almost done!!

When I was pregnant with my first I started having terrible headaches never felt anything like it before then about a week after they started I went into labour. I read somewhere that the headaches were an indication that labour was going to start soon (not sure how true that is) but I would mention it to your midwife just incase it is your blood pressure
