I keep having headaches constantly. Sometimes they turn into migrans and i have to leave and go home. I know that its not from stress and i checked and I dont need glasses.
It usually starts if I sleep in or if i get up to quikly, and it wont go away for the rest of the day.


Answers:

Migraines have as many causes as there are people. I know, not helpful, but regrettably true.

If you get them when you sleep too much, laying down too much puts pressure on your brain stem (I'm not an expert, my neurologist explained it to me not long ago) and can cause abnormalities in the chemicals which help regulate your sleep pattern, causing migraines.

By get up too quickly, you mean stand up? That can be a problem with low blood sugar.

Talk to a doctor. Keep a headache log (a pain to do when you don't feel well, but it pays off when you have more information to find the cause). Record what you had to eat before you get a migraine (your last 2 meals), how much sleep you had the night before. Use a scale to rate your migraines (1 being pressure, 2 pressure and some pain, 10 being the worst pain you've ever been in).

Try to regulate how much sugar and caffeine you intake. Having your body go though sugar highs-and lows (same with caffeine) can cause migraines. If you know things bring on your migraines (loud music, crowded loud areas, flashing lights or movies that jump around a lot) avoid them whenever possible.
