Daily Headaches are usually nothing to worry about.
However if the daily headaches last longer than a few days or get worse then get checked out to be sure.
Daily headaches can sometimes be dangerous especially if the daily headaches are accompanied by a fever, stiff neck, confusion, decreased alertness or memory, or neurological symptoms including blurry vision etc then the daily headache could be something serious.
If you're having daily headaches and they seem to get worse or will not go away or they are accompanied with other symptoms like mentioned above then you should see a doctor or go to urgent care.
But sometimes daily headaches may be just from stress or loud noises etc.
I sometimes get daily headaches and they usually sometimes last as long as 1 to 2 weeks.
However they usually don't occur everyday but if you have daily headaches that last everyday then I would recommend getting the headaches checked out.
Sometimes headaches can be caused by brain tumors or other brain cancer so you want to be sure it's nothing serious.
But if taking some pain medicine such as aspirin helps get rid of the daily headaches then it's likely nothing serious but still a good idea to let a doctor know about it.
