Evaluation: There are various causes of headache ranging from the benign to more serious causes.Your aunt should not be getting daily headaches without getting it evaluated and treated effectively. This will improve her quality of life. Advise her to see a doctor for this if she has not yet done so but if she has,she may need to see a specialist or go back for follow up

Various reasons: There are numerous reasons. She could have low blood pressure or high blood pressure. She could have low blood sugar especially in the morning. If she is on medications it could be a medication side effect. She will be best served by seeing her regular doctor for an evaluation. After that consider Chinese medicine and acupuncture as adjunctive treatments. I have great success with them.
