Headaches

For 3 weeks now I have been getting headaches on and off. They seem to move all around my head and vary in pain. The first week felt more like a sinus kind of headache as the pain was worse when I got up from sitting or when I moved my head. The last 2 weeks have been more of a constant pain. I have had a cold but it seems to have cleared. Could it just be lasting effects from a bad cold? Any ideas anyone? Thanks

Just an update. I'm still getting these headaches but they seem to be more around the back of my head. I went to the doctor who told me to take ibuprofen but since I've taken this I have felt sick and had a sore stomach. The doctor did say my blood pressure was high. Could this have anything to do with my headaches? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The back of the head is not a common place for a migraine, of course I am not a doctor. Have you had a good work up of all your symptoms. I would be careful about taking to much tylenol, you can give yourself an ulcer. Good luck in finding out what is going on.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah the ibuprofen didn't agree with me at all. I'll leave it a couple days and go back to the doctors and see what they say.
