It sounds like a classic tension headache. I once had one of these for over a month! Are you at the computer for many hours? I know that will make it worse, or depression, or worry. If it keeps up and you are very concerned you could ask the doctor for an MRI. I doubt you need that though. Try to relax and get some R&R. Good luck!

I had the same problem and they thought it might be something serious because mine lasted 2 weeks, but I also had a stuffy nose at the time. They ended up doing a CT scan and come to find out it was just a REALLY bad sinus headache.

I have the same thing going on right now and it was a sinus headache. I ended up going to see the Dr and she gave me a cortisone shot to reduce the swelling and I ened up taking antibiotics also. It takes almost 3 weeks to get rid of a sinus infection because the antibiotics have to travel through the bone of the sinus cavity to reach the infection. In the meantime, try taking alot of hot showers and eat chicken soup. My neck was also hurting me because of all of the pressure and congestion from my sinuses. If you want to email me, feel free to do so. I hope you start feeling better soon,
