Wonder about: Sounds like the evolution of "chronic daily migraine", and if pattern continues, could be tough to reverse. Would contact your doctor at this point, and get this treated. Would recommend a preventative type of medication first, but an NSAID like Cambia, or steroids might do the immediate job. Contact your doctor.
