The Chiari malformation can lead to extreme headaches, and should be evaluated currently by a neurologist or neurosurgeon, so get an immediate referral and exam as progression may lead to very serious clinical conditions.

The Chiari malformation may have shifted, and would certainly obtain updated films. If no change, could consider chronic daily headache management. These could be migraines, and there are many medications to break up patterns like yours. Yes, find a neurologist and reassess the entire picture.
