Well, I went to the doctor last night and he referred me to an allergy/sinus specialist. No answers, but he said headaches (especially among women) are very common. He said it could be anything: weather, diet, stress, medications, hormonal, environmental, etc...basically, until I see a specialist, he advised me to take benadryl at night and he gave me some Flonase nasal spray. He also said to keep a log of my headaches and not try to make any major changes regarding my caffeine intake. One cup of coffe (what I drink daily) isn't bad, so he said don't eliminate it or I'll probably make the headaches worse. He gave me this thick packet to fill out (regarding my food, my daily habits, my work environment, my home, any allergies I may have, etc...) and I send it in to the specialist and they'll evaluate it before they actually see me. I guess they try and figure out what could be triggering these headaches or if I'm allergic to something and not aware of it. We'll see...maybe I am just having really bad sinus headaches and pressure. Thanks everyone for your input.
