See your doctor: Headaches come in many varieties, from stress/tension to migraine and many others. But if you're having a new pattern of headache unlike previous headaches, it would be best for you to be seen by your doctor to make sure the cause isn't a serious one.

Migraines: Headaches that occur or start on one side of the head are very often migraine headaches. Many migraine sufferers will have headaches which always start on the same side of their head; while others may have migraines start on one side or the other. Migraine headaches can onset at any age.

Many causes: There are so many causes of too frequent menstrual periods that it is important that you get examined by a GYN MD to sort through all of them. Uterine fibroids, and thyroid disease are high on the list of possible causes.
