Answers:
Hmm - the possible causes of a headache are numerous, but roughly speaking, the 3 most common causes are:
1) Tension headache - usually like a tight band accross the forehead, diffuse, dull, often stress-induced; aggravated by noice or touching the forehead.
2) Migraine - a much more severe headache, usually only on one side, throbbing, may be associated with nausea/ vomiting, or hypersensitivity to light or sound. So severe that patient usually has to lie still.
3) Diseases of the eye (need glasses?) or sinuses (blocked nose?) or teeth (try fiddling around near your teeth and jaw and see if pressure there makes the headaches worse).
If none of these seem likely, get a second opinion, and even consult a neurologist. Headaches can be very tricky to diagnose and manage, and you should shop around until you're happy.
