Some basics: This is an area of specialty care that must be done in person. There are available treatments if it is truly migraines but some daily HA sufferers are just in a unending circle created by the meds they take. Sometimes the best care is to come off all meds in a supervised fashion. Find a doc you can talk to & stick with it.

Headaches : Headaches are a very complex medical problem requiring thoughtful history taking, exams and interventions both lifestyle and medications in some cases. So sorry you are having such trouble. I see you are 16 years old? Your pediatrician is a good place to start and if your team is not able to get an acceptable result you will need to see a pediatric neurologist for help. Best of luck to you!
