I’ve had a chronic headache all day, everyday for 11 month?! Help???

hey there. Im a teenager if that gives any extra information? So, early january, i got this bad headache. It was weird for me since i had never had any headaches before this day. So i took a few advil and carried on they did nothing. The headache lasted all day, then all week, then all month. Since then, more symptoms have been showing up. Currently, i get brain fog( confused, trouble with sinple math, bad memory, can't focuse on anything, brain lags, and i get lost on the subject in the middle of a sentence). Along with that, i get two different thpes of headaches usually. Usually an aching or clamping sensation, or an icepick headache, the icepick headaches last antwhere from 10 seconds to 5 minutes. The aching or clamping headaches rage in intensity from 2-9. They rarely go down to two or three though. Maybe one day a month is like that. They also switch intensities often but stay withing a range.( 2-4, 5-6, 7-9). They are usually moderate though. I have also found that i am starting to lack coordination. I trip on stairs, run into things, trip on air, and cant even hit a ball. One of the synptoms thats been around for a longer time(started 9 months ago) is this odd sensation that is indescribable. The best i can say is that my brain tingles. The headache is still there but it is that sensation added on. Or sometimes, theres another odd sensation that i have started calling head nausea. My head feels like throwing up. Its the same feeling you get in your stomach but I feel it in my head I am also sensitive to loud noises and strongs smells. There isn't any other way to describe it. If i smell someones perfume at all, Ill end up in bed for the rest of the day and skipping extra-curricular activities. I am currently on 10mg of amitriptyline a day. It is doing nothing at all. I feel like im at a stand still. Nobody knows whats going on and there isnt much i can do since no medicine has helped relieve any pain. And right now, we're just waiting to see if the medicine will help.(which it clearly isn't) I dont know what to do and am hoping someone recognises any of this or can help me somehow.

hi there. i can totally feel and understand your pain. i am 35 yr old lady suffering with chronic tension type headache for over 5 months. i have tried amitriptyline 10mg for months. it didnt help me at all. Increase in dosage gives me side effects like heart palpitations. i am on propranalol 80mg but even that doesn't seem to be doing any dfference. but it did help me to sleep better. i had insomnia and couldnt sleep at night at all. did Mri scan that was clear, blood tests were all ok. just dont understand how can i get rid of it. i am probably in same situation like you. had headache for months, tried medication. but headache is there every single day. i am amazed that it is taking so long to get cured. or not sure if there is any problem is diagnosis.

Get an MRI. I'm up to about 5 weeks but can't have an MRI due to having a pacemaker. Your symptoms are a bit different to mine though.
