She needs an exam: Please call your doctor so that she can have an exam. It would be a good idea to start a headache diary that details her symptoms, timing, precipitating factors, and anything that makes the headaches worse or better. That her symptoms have been going on for so long suggests migraines or another headache syndrome, it is important to rule out tumors. It is also important to have her vision checked.
