The worst headaches ever?
For the past 3 months ive had these extremely sore headaches every day, without fail I get them twice a day and they last for about an hour and then they go. It's so regular I could set my watch by them, I wake up around 3am with one and i get another around 5 or 6pm. I know that people think its just a headache but the pain is so bad I find it hard to describe, I mean I'm a fully grown twenty-something guy and im rolling around on the floor or bed crying because the pain is so intense. I always know its coming when my left eye starts watering and then this horrible pain starts like ive been stabbed in the eye then it spreads to the whole left side of my head. It reaches its peak half an hour in and then slowly disappears like nothing happened. I'm fearing the worst and researching brain tumours and aneurysms but they come with other symptoms like nausea and vision/memory loss but I have none of these. Im booked in to see my doctor but that's not till next week, so if anyone has any idea what this could be even if it is something bad like a brain tumour please just tell me because im so worried I'd rather just know.

This isn't a headache. It's a Migraine. A migraine is what you call, more of an extreme headache. But it effects your nerves more than a headache. A headache is just when your brain swells against your skull. When you start getting the jabbing pains in your eye, its a sign clearly towards you are getting a migraine.
You can't automatically announce. "I'm gonna get a headache." because your brain has to swell up to do so. But you can tell when you get a migraine.
I got them so much that I literally missed a month of school in 7th grade. Not straight through. But every once in a while I'd have a headache. Then i went to a Neurologist, who officially diagnosed me with having migraines. He gave me these pills, which I think were for your heart. So it would knock me out during the night and I wouldn't get them.
He also gave me pills that I could use for when I got one. You know?
Your doctor will walk you through it. But this is what i think it is and it isn't all that severe.

Possibly cluster migraines. I have migraines and am a girl. Boys seem to have cluster migraines and you need to contact a md and get them checked out!
