Answer 1

It sounds more like cluster headaches (i.e. clustered for 3 days with a month break). Possible migraine. You need to start a log (when starts, description, how long, what makes it feel better/worse, other symptoms). And go see a neurologist.

Answer 2

I'm sorry to hear that you're in pain.  Neurologists are the experts on diagnosing and managing headaches.  If it's occasional and responds to Tylenol (maybe a better choice for you than ibuprofen), then it may just be one of those nuisances of life.  If, on the other hand, it really interferes with your daily function, seek another formal evaluation with a Neurologist.  There's insufficient data to make a diagnosis of Migraine Headache and the treatment of such is quite different that other forms (e.g. Tension, etc.).  I urge you to please seek medical attention to ensure that there's nothing "terribly serious" and that if, indeed, it's Migraine headache that you are treated in a sound manner by a Neurologist.

I wish you the best.

Answer 3

it could be a tumor or a sist. but if ur docs say nothing is wrong then dont worry. it would be safe to see another doc and get a different scan and opinion. also go back every 6 months or every year to see if it has grown.

my aunt has headaches like u but nothing is wrong with her. maybe its hereditary.

Answer 4

you should ...you disrespect the people who care about you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 5

It sounds like you're having migraines.  A headache here an there is normal, but not lasting 2-3 days and every month.  I think you might want to talk to other doctors.  It could be anything from a food allergy to stress to anything else.  It'd be good to have a dr. that will try to find out why this is happening and not just say there is nothing wrong without digging deeper.
