I forgot to mention that I take Imitrex for my migrianes and sometimes add Ibupropin. It is best to stop the migraine cycle by taking a triptan drug then you won't keep getting them. There are many types of tryptans and some work on some people and not others Maxalt works better for some people. Excedrine migraine helps my friend too. It is best to get diagnosed though. But you can't take triptans more than 2 days a week. If you do the brain cells get used to them and then you get rebound headache. Tylenol will give you rebound headache as well. I don't take Tylenol at all anymore for that reason.

It could be migraine. Sometimes you can have a migraine continuously for  a long time. Migraines are usually on one side of the head of the forehead. You may want to see a neurologist. They can take an EEG (to check the electrical part of the brain) and maybe a MRI to follow up with the structrual. Hopefully the symptoms will help them diagnose you properly. I have a migraine variant and migraines and my EEG is abnormal without meds.

Sabina,
I suggest you get your blood pressure checked.  Walmart has those "self serve" monitors by the pharmacies.  If it's high...get to your doc.  Also, this has happened to me when I have been staring at a computer screen too long.  Could be eye strain symptoms...do you wear glasses and/or do you perhaps need them?  Maybe, wear contact lens too long?  Hope you feel better soon.  v
