Lets try Paracetamol: Unless you have some anxiety or tension in your daily routine, it should settle down with a short course of paracetamol. You can take 500 or 650 mg dose and repeat it once 6 hours later unless the pain is gone. It should settle down in 4-5 days. If it is getting worse despite paracetamol, then you should get a check up from your family doctor.

Hi. I have never struggled with headaches in the past, but the last month or two I've been getting frequent, splitting tension headaches. It starts behind my eyes and then moves to the back of my head. This happens almost every day?
When I move my eyes side to side, headache increases back of right side of head then also includes right top of head. Why?
10 days of right side head pains. Not a constant headache. Sinus pressure, come & go ear discomfort, occasional ear ringing, random pains on top & side of head, a few sharp eye pains & back of head was sore for a few days. BIG fear of aneurysm. Idea?
Sharp, moderate, headache felt in the front above my eye and back of the right side of my head. only lasted about a minute or two, and then went away. what could this be?
