Perhaps migraines: Your description suggests migraine headaches, and the frequency raises concern for the pattern of chronic daily headaches. Jaw problems might be triggering this. Quite important to get this under control, and preventative medications may be available to help, but need to have your doctor assess all of this.

Could be Migraine: To fully determine what is causing your problem, a dr. Would need to get a complete history, do a physical examination and probably some diagnostic testing. Other causes could be TMJ diysfunction, middle ear problems, infection or blockage of the parotid gland or even more serious brain issues like blood vessel leakage or brain tumor. Don't put off getting to a doctor.
