PFO: Serious headaches as you are describing may require a doctor or emergency room visit. Talk with your doctor. Also consider the cause of such headaches as a possible patent foramen ovale.

Chronic daily HA's: Could be your headache pattern has altered, and with this frequency, do not even try to use imitrex, (sumatriptan) it will not work, and may make things worse. Verapamil is a mediocre preventative for such headaches and is not approved by the fda. First see your doc, and get evaluated. You might break up pattern with steroids, depakote, topirimate, or otc's but get some guidance.
