Possibly: I recommend that you have an evaluation by a neurologist to properly diagnose the cause of your frequent headaches and treat you. Other causes include aneurysms,growth,tension headaches,eye problems,high blood pressure,etc.

Possibly: While frequent migraines could be a sign of a serious condition - a sudden change in frequency and severity or certain associated symptoms like blurred vision, vision loss, facial numbness or unilateral weakness are more serious signs. You should keep a headache diary (Google one) and see a clinician to help determine the cause and provide both you with both symptomatic and prophylactic treatment

Migraine: Migraines are most often due to spasms and dilations of blood vessels of brain and eyes. Some meds, like birth control pills and others, can make symptoms worse in some patients. Avoid triggers. Take pain meds early at the start (to avoid needing higher doses later) and see neurologist or md/eyemd to rule out other rare causes (tumor--benign or malignant). Many find cures with a Gluten Free diet.
