Emerging chronic daily headache pattern which likely will require preventative prescription or OTC intervention to disrupt. You could have migraine, but there may be other causes, even triggers. Imitrex should be used sparingly, and would not exceed 3-5 doses within a week, more frequent risks adverse events and more breakthrough headaches. Neurologist is next step.
