Constant headache

[Idunnowhattonameme]

Hello! For about the past three months I’ve started to experience headaches. It started with about one mild headache per week but by now it’s turned into mainly headache all day. It’s sometimes accompanied by a weird tingling sensation in my head and a nauseous feeling in my head(only way I know how to describe the feeling. It’s always worse at night and it worsens around 7:30 pm. I’m not stressed. My life is very calm and nothing is really happening so I’m not stressed. I’m going to the doctor this week but I would like to know a bit earlier. Has anyone had similar experiences and what were the causes? Thanks in advance!

Update: so I went to the doctor. He said it’s likely that the headache comes from clenching so I’m going to get an appliance for when I sleep that basically forces my jaw to relax. He also recommended me to a massage therapist so we’ll see if things seem to get better

Hi sounds very like my symptoms. Started 6 years ago and were really intense and daily. I was diagnosed with Hemicrania Continua About 3 years ago. So after trying everything from meds, daith piercing, exercise, diet, GON. you name it I’ve tried it. I’m now taking high dose magnesium,Vit2 and Tumeric. Either I’m growing out of them or something or the combination of things has helped. I’m now down to approx 10 days per month wit( headaches and certainly nowhere near as intense.. Good luck

I've had a headache since I was 19. I'm now 49. Aspirin free Excedrin masks it quite well for several hours. Chronic migraine as well. If Excedrin doesnt work I take Amerge (triptan) for migraine.

(At least until 6 months ago. I now take Aimovig and am much much better on the migraine side, but also somewhat better on the chronic headache side.)

Anyway....root cause for me is minor scoliosis. Headaches started when I started carrying a heavy backpack in college. Scoliosis causes constant muscle and nerve stress in my upper back, shoulders and neck, resulting in chronic tension headache and migraine.
