What are the effective treatments for recurrent headaches?

Hi doctor,

I am 36 years old and weigh 132 pounds. Last month, I had headaches every day. When I take a painkiller, the headache goes away, but it comes back again. My blood pressure is slightly elevated, but I also have headaches when it is normal. I am not taking any medication regularly.

Kindly help.

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

1. Since when did your headaches start? They started a couple of months ago, but in the last month, they have occurred every day.
2. In which part of your head do you feel the headaches? (You can attach a photo taken from a little distance, with your hand placed over the part of the head where you feel the headache. You can attach 2-3 photos from the front and sides if the headache area is large.) Mostly, I feel pain in my forehead and near my eyes. Last month, I had my eyes checked, and I changed my glasses because I thought that might be the reason, but my headache continues.
3. What kind of headaches do you experience - heaviness, bursting, squeezing, stretching, throbbing, or some other kind? Mostly, the sensation is like squeezing.
4. Are your headaches intermittent or persistent? I could say both. After taking a painkiller, the pain goes away for 2 to 3 hours, but then it comes back again.
5. If intermittent, how long does one episode of a headache last (without a painkiller tablet)? Without a painkiller, the pain can last for hours, maybe even the whole day.
6. Do you feel any nausea or experience vomiting during a headache episode? The last time the headache was so strong that I did vomit. My blood pressure was also strange, it was measured at 110/90.
7. Is the headache associated with any redness in your eyes, watering from your eyes, or nasal blockage? No.
8. Have you noticed any specific trigger factors for these headaches so far? No, I have been trying to understand if they are connected to something, but I cannot say for sure at this point.
9. How frequent were these headaches before one month? How many times in a week? Before a month, they occurred maybe every second day or so.
10. Do you take any regular medication for your headaches (apart from painkillers)? If yes, please provide the name, dosage, and frequency. No, I am only taking Nurofen.
11. How is your vision for distant objects and for near objects? Generally, my vision is okay. Only in the evening when I am tired, it is a bit blurred.
12. Have you undergone a CT or MRI scan or any other investigations for your headaches? If yes, please send the reports along with blood test reports too. Not yet.

Other information:

1. How is your sleep routine? Do you get sleepy soon after lying in bed, or does it take a long time? Once you get sleepy, do you have frequent awakenings during sleep? Do you feel refreshed upon waking in the morning? Taking into account that I am the mother of two 5-year-olds, my sleep is not steady for sure. Usually, I do not fall asleep easily; I need some time to fall asleep. It's also very easy for me to wake up at any sound. I also have a lot of dreams. When I wake up, I feel tired, and my body does too.
2. How is your usual mood during day-to-day activities? Are you generally happy, leaning toward the sad side (thinking about past events), leaning toward the worried side (thinking about future things), irritable, or something else? Sometimes I am more or less fine, but I have moments when I am worried about the future or sad about past events.
