Advice: You are getting close to "chronic daily headaches", and you need to break up pattern ASAP. Botox may be an answer, but OTC remedies to prevent headaches may work well, such as butterbur, feverfew, riboflavin, Co-Q10, and magnesium. Sometimes, occipital nerve blocks are useful. Avoid pain meds of all kinds.
