Chronic Mild migraine or chronic tension headaches??

Hello everyone, for the last 3 months I have suffered with chronic headaches. For the first six weeks I suffered with dizziness every single day, which then just miraculously disappeared. I have headaches everyday that often migrate across my head, sometimes starting at the back, then the temples, then a lot of pressure on sides of my nose and roof of my mouth. These symptoms made me think it was tension headaches, but I also have tingling across my forehead and temples and have floaters in both eyes as well as occassionally seeing flashing lights. The aura type symptoms don't seem to always match up with a headache and I have only ever had one migraine before after hours of crying and extreme anxiety/stress that ended up me being sick. I have never had a full blown migraine since. Has anyone had these symptoms and been diagnosed, I am really unsure as to whether they are tension or migraines but I get them every day with no let up so unsure what to do...:(

Yes I have the same headache, I dont know what is it, bus is abuout 9 months than I am with this floaters in both eyes, contracting musclues in the jaw an on my nose, headache on the top of the head and around. But I have too, keratoconus in my left eye, so maybe these symptoms comes from it. I have 4 months that I am taking Laroxyl 0.25 mg, but I don't see that is helping me because the headache comes every day. Something strange that I have notice too is that when I lie down, I feel better and during night I sleep well.
