Default daily headaches/migraines??

hi all,
I was diagnosed with migraines with sensory auras a year ago (only had one or 2 sensory auras, but normally get visual auras).
then for the last month or so I am getting bad headache/migraines pretty much every night. its normally after finishing work and I also get jaw pain. the head pain seems to be getting more severe though. I also feel abit sick with them.
the other day I felt like my legs went weak when I went to stand up, and im not sure if it was one or both legs.
I don't take any regular pain relief, I occasionally take paracetamol or a triptan, but not all the time. anyone else get this?
I also feel like my eyes are blurry all the time.

I would urge you to request a ct scan of the brain. I started similarly to how you describe your nightly headaches, but they quickly became constant. I could hear my own pulse in my ears. My scan revealed swelling of the brain, which eventually was diagnosed as hydrocephalus. I did have some mild nausea with the headache. Good luck and hopefully it ends up being something easy like plant allergies!

here are symptoms of chiari
Symptoms

The most common symptom of Chiari malformation is a headache, which begins at the back of the head (neck) and radiates upward. The pain is often made worse or can be brought on by coughing, sneezing or straining. These activities are known as valsalva maneuvers.

Visual problems such as nystagmus (involuntary eye movements), double or blurred vision may occur. Balance difficulties, vertigo and dizziness also may be present. Some people may have cranial nerve compression. This can result in apnea (cessation of breathing), gagging, swallowing difficulties, facial numbness or syncope (temporary loss of consciousness).

Patients may have muscle weakness, particularly in the upper extremities, coordination problems, and gait abnormalities. Imaging of the spine may reveal a fluid collection inside of the spinal cord, known as a syrinx. Some individuals may have hydrocephalus, a buildup of fluid in the ventricles of the brain.
