A member asked:

What causes you to have a headache for a week straight?

Chronic daily HA's: If you possess migraine, and use pain meds, you can develop a rebound process, and the headaches can exacerbate into a more constant process. If you have never had migraine, there is a question of a problem inside the head, or perhaps a medication reaction. Either way, have your physician review all of this.
