Answer Layla,
I am sorry to hear you have been suffering with headaches. There are many different kinds of headache. Possible causes include jaw muscle cramps (tension headache), jaw joint problems (TMJ dysfunction), migraine (neurovascular headache), nerve problems (neuralgia), blood vessel inflammation (arteritis), sinus congestion, and rarely tumors. Each kind of headache is treated differently. It is important to determine the exact cause of the headach in order to find a solution. I recommend you see a doctor.
