Severe Headache for 6 years
I have had a constant headache since 2020. I got a MRI and eye tests were done, but nothing came out. My doctor told me it's a migraine. But even after taking heavy pain killers, I didn't get relief for even a minute. I am not able to tie my hair, sudden movements or waking up suddenly from sleep, increases my headache. I am not able to exercise or go for a walk as it increases my headache. Going out in the sun also increases my headache. I was recommended pranayam, etc but that also increases my headache.
Sometimes the pain increases in my jaw and around the nose.
Please help me out, what to do. Which doctor should I consult?

If you are already taking medication for migraine and have been using multiple painkillers without any relief, you should visit our clinic. Please bring all your previous reports with you. We will take a detailed history, evaluate your condition properly, and prescribe appropriate medication if required. We will also guide you regarding exercise and diet, and if needed, we will refer you to a neurologist for further evaluation.

All chronic headaches are not migraines. Most probably you are having Sinusitis.

Based on this, experiencing a non-stop headache for six years that fails to respond to traditional abortive painkillers requires a highly specialized reassessment. The mechanical triggers (like hair tension or physical movement) along with facial distribution points toward specialized conditions such as New Daily Persistent Headache (NDPH), a chronic refractory migraine variant, or localized cranial nerve/occipital nerve sensitivity. However, for a proper diagnosis after a six-year timeline, a comprehensive neurological re-evaluation is necessary.
Health Tips
To accurately evaluate your 6-year history of constant head pain, systematically review your past clean MRI data side-by-side, and design a specialized neurological preventive or nerve-targeted prescription plan, please book a direct consultation session via my Practo profile."

Migraine is a chronic neurological illness which requires comprehensive management medical and non medical
Painkillers are useful only during acute attacks
Proper prophylaxis is required to prevent further attacks.
Need a detailed evaluation to help you with review of past medications - overuse of pain killers will itself cause headache!
