Be seen: Might be time for an md visit. Headaches are complicated and can be hard to diagnose. There are many different causes (migraines, sinus problems, vision problems, caffeine related, even as a side affect of sleep apnea). When you are talking that much Ibuprofen without response, it's time to be seen. Your primary md or a neurologist are good places to start.
