Not likely: Although various medicines seem not to work, many pts respond best to migraine specific preventatives if frequent ha's, and triptans fail if constant pain. Consider use of depakote, topirimate, beta-blockers, or butterbur, riboflavin, coq-10 to breakup pattern. If MRI never done, it could be reassuring, so check with your doctor. Do not do self-medication.

Chronic Headaches: Constant headaches should always be evaluated asap as there could be an underlying medical condition causing the pain. Use of medications like Ibuprofen and triptans on a frequent basis can cause headaches. Family history of headaches also predisposes a person to headaches. Other factors involved in headaches include stress, physical trauma, sleep disorders, and previous history of headaches.
