There is a cause of chronic headache called pseudotumor cerebri.
It is diagnosed with a spinal tap to see if the fluid surrounding your brain has elevated pressure. It happens in young people. And can be connected to certain drugs, mostly those for acne treatments (minocycline and Vit A retinol). It is more common in women. This can be treated, so any long term severe headache should be followed up by a doctor, to make sure you don't have this. Left untreated the pressure can build up and damage your eyes.
