There could be numerous reasons for this. I once had a headache for several months - turned out to be the lights at work. It could be a smell or sound that you keep running into. It could be a mold or something else you are allergic to. It could be your body's way of telling you something bigger is going on. Check around if you can't find the reason and they continue, get medical help.

Drinks lots of water.  Most headaches are a sign of dehydration

it could be the pressure, but that is doubtful, unless you have an imballance in your inner ear, which should pressurize naturally.\n\nmore likely, it is dehidration that is causing the headache.  when it is humid, you drink less, but your body is evaproating more.

Possible symptoms of migraines\nIntense throbbing or dull aching pain on one side of your head or both sides. \nNausea or vomiting \nChanges in how you see, including blurred vision or blind spots \nBeing bothered by light, noise or odors \nFeeling tired and/or confused \nStopped-up nose \nFeeling cold or sweaty \nStiff or tender neck \nLight-headedness \nTender scalp \n\nAre there different kinds of migraine headaches? \nYes. The most common are classic migraine and common migraine.\n\nClassic migraines start with a warning sign, called an aura. The aura often involves changes in the way you see. You may see flashing lights and colors. You may temporarily lose some of your vision, such as your side vision.\n\nYou may also feel a strange prickly or burning sensation, or have muscle weakness on one side of your body. You may have trouble communicating. You may also feel depressed, irritable and restless.\n\nAuras last about 15 to 30 minutes. Auras may occur before or after your head pain, and sometimes the pain and aura overlap, or the pain never occurs. The head pain of classic migraines may occur on one side of your head or on both sides.\n\nCommon migraines don't start with an aura. Common migraines may start more slowly than classic migraines, last longer and interfere more with daily activities. The pain of common migraines may be on only one side of your head. \n\nHow long do migraines usually last? \nMigraines may last from 4 to 72 hours. They may happen only once or twice a year, or as often as daily. Women are more likely to have migraines than men.\n\nWhat things may set off a migraine? \nCertain things that can set off migraines in some people include the following:\n\nStrong or unusual odors, bright lights or loud noises \nChanges in weather or altitude \nBeing tired, stressed or depressed or the let-down after a stressful event \nChanges in sleeping patterns or sleeping time \nCertain foods (see the list below), especially those that contain tyramine, sodium nitrate or phenylalanine \nMissing meals or fasting \nMenstrual periods, birth control pills or hormones \nIntense physical activity, including sexual activity \n\n Foods that may trigger migraines\nAged, canned, cured or processed meat, including bologna, game, ham, herring, hot dogs, pepperoni and sausage\n\nAged cheese\n\nAlcoholic beverages, especially red wine\n\nAspartame\n\nAvocados\n\nBeans, including pole, broad, lima, Italian, navy, pinto and garbanzo\n\nBrewer's yeast, including fresh yeast coffee cake, donuts and sourdough bread\n\nCaffeine (in excess)\n\nCanned soup or bouillon cubes\n\nChocolate, cocoa and carob\n\nCultured dairy products, such as buttermilk and sour cream\n\nFigs\n\nLentils\n Meat tenderizer\n\nMonosodium glutamate (MSG)\n\nNuts and peanut butter\n\nOnions, except small amounts for flavoring\n\nPapaya\n\nPassion fruit\n\nPea pods\n\nPickled, preserved or marinated foods, such as olives and pickles, and some snack foods\n\nRaisins\n\nRed plums\n\nSauerkraut\n\nSeasoned salt\n\nSnow peas\n\nSoy sauce\n \n What about prescription medicines? \nPeople with more severe pain may need prescription medicine. A medicine called ergotamine (brand name: Ergostat) can be effective alone or combined with other medicines. Dihydroergotamine (brand names: Migranal, D.H.E. 45) is related to ergotamine and can be helpful.\n\nOther prescription medicines for migraines include sumatriptan (brand name: Imitrex), zolmitriptan (brand name: Zomig), naratriptan (brand name: Amerge) rizatriptan (brand name: Maxalt), almotriptan (brand name: Axert), eletriptan (brand name: Relpax) and frovatriptan (brand name: Frova).\n\nIf the pain won't go away, stronger medicine may be needed, such as a narcotic (brand name: Stadol nasal spray) or medicines that contain a barbiturate. These medicines can be habit-forming and should be used cautiously.\n\nThank you and have a nice day dear

I'm a resident physician at UCSF, it sounds like a migraine headache, but I would not give an official diagnosis over the internet.  Tell her NOT to worry about a brain tumor.  She should see a doctor, at minimum they can give her medications for migraine relief.  Migraines are very common and are nothing to worry about, just have her go in so she can get that pain under control.\n\nTell her not to take tylenol everyday (or ibuprofen) because you can get something called "analgesic rebound headache" if you start taking those everyday.  Basically most over the counter pain meds like Alleve, Motrin, etc are only good for once in a while use.

I think what you should do is fill your kitchen sink up with water. Now put your head in the sink three times,and only pull your head out twice. This will cure your headache

A friend of mine told me to put ice in a wash cloth and fold it up and hold it against your neck and lay down for 30 minutes...it's supposed to open up your blood vessels..maybe you should get a MRI or a CT scan to have your headaches checked out. or trying having someone give you a back/neck message to relieve the tension?

You need to see a doctor! Any time a headache lasts more than a couple of days or the pain is that severe, you need to be evaluated. Get help now!!!

It could be a cluster headache. They tend to center themselves on the top of the skull, and they are FAR more painful than a tension headache (usually men get these, but women can). If the pain continues, you ought to see a doctor. Cluster headaches can be caused by anything from stress to carbon monoxide poisoning, so it's best to get checked out.
