?cluster headaches: Could be chronic daily headaches, which may or may not be associated with pain medication. However, some of the description suggests a cluster headache pattern, and may well be the answer, if this is awakening out of sleep at night. Tramadol is not the answer, as you need a preventative agent in the migraine class. See a headache specialist, and get under control.

Cluster headaches: This sounds like a cluster headache, which is a variation of a migraine. The redness comes from dilation of the blood vessels that accompanies the headache. You might consider seeing a neurologist for workup and medication. These can often be effectively controlled.
