Default Multiple daily headaches in base of skull/neck that last for a week

Hi everyone

I wonder if anyone can relate to or help with my symptoms?

-Multiple daily headaches lasting for a period of roughly 1 week - sometimes 2 weeks - they come and go throughout each day

-Intense throbbing, pressure, burning pain
-Base of skull feels swollen and tender
-Pain is in the base of my skull where it meets the neck
-Sometimes radiating to ears, throat (occasionally i can feel a related sensation in my nose)

-The pain lasts around 5-10 minutes each time
-They come and go roughly 10-20 times a day
-Come on quickly and escalate to maximum pain within 1 minute
-Wake me from my sleep roughly 4 times a night and in the morning

-Sometimes affects hearing - similar sensation to ear popping
-I feel dazed and I don't want to talk
-I can go for months without any symptoms

-Ibuprofen / paracetamol / ice help

Thank you in advance
