I have a really bad headache, I am 16 year old female, a year ago, light sensitivity started off small, at night with bright light the light sensitivity used to be there and there used to be a headache which was only above my eyebrows, that was in December 2025, i didn't consult anyone, so 9 months later, it increased to the point it carries out the entire day, my headache is from the temples to the jaw, behind my eyes above the eyebrows and nose bridge beneath my eyes too, i get a stiff neck and pain in shoulders too due to this recently, and some times there are cramp like headaches at the base of my skull which is a sharp pain for a few secs and it disappears, i have a decent sleep schedule, i sleep by 2-3 am i wake up by 8 or 9 am, and immediately an hour later the headache comes, by afternoon i sleep from 3pm to 6pm and the headache is still there which intensifies by night, its too much now, its not like i can't tolerate it, i can but i can't focus anymore except for the pain

What you are describing - light sensitivity, pain around temples, behind the eyes and over the eyebrows, worsening by night, with neck and shoulder stiffness - fits chronic migraine with a strong tension-type and neck component, made worse by your 2-3 am sleep schedule. A year of this untreated is why it has spread to the whole day. Three things now: fix sleep to a fixed 11 pm-7 am, get your eyes tested for refractive error, and get haemoglobin, vitamin D and B12 checked. Do not keep taking painkillers daily - that itself causes rebound headache. You need a proper preventive tablet for a few months, which works well at your age. Red flags to reach a hospital: sudden worst-ever headache, vomiting, fever with neck stiffness, blurred or double vision, weakness. Consult me on Practo and I'll start you on a preventive plan.
