What Causes Headache And Dull Pressure In My Head?

Hi, I have been having a headache/migraine for the past month and a half, I ve gone to my family doctor, and have gone to the hospital. They took my blood sample and checked my electrolytes. I have no sensitivity to light or sound, but an ongoing pressure which feels like in the middle of my head to the front of my head. Sometimes it s dull pressure but other times it becomes intense and unbearable. I ve tried nasal sprays and neither of those have worked. I take advil and I ve tried Tylonol and Tylonol for headaches and nothing has worked. If I could find anything else I could do, it d be greatly appreciated. Also, I m 21 years old and a girl, if that helps at all.

Welcome to HCM.
It looks to be migraine headache.
There are some triggering factors for this type of headache.
It usually occurs after some food,stress,anxiety,disturbed sleep pattern,work load and any unfavorable condition in routine life.
You have to be watchful for your trigerring factor.
Otherwise take nsaid with metoclopramide,flunarizine to subside typical headache.
Long course of flunarizine will be helpful to reduce episodes.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
