I get migranes... they suck, but usually they go away with sleep and/or meds.
The only kind of headache I get that does not go away is caused by allergies. The first time this happened, I didn't know it was allergies because I had never had them before... at all. Then, one day, I got a piercing headache that felt different from a migrane but still hurt like hell. I tried all the usual things, and nothing helped. My mother suggested I try some strong decongestants, just in case it was allergies, and my week long headache was gone within an hour. Now I take an over the counter antihystamine/decongestant daily to prevent this... especially this time of year, and as you are in NY, we are in the same geographic area, and the pollen here this year has been awful.
I'm not saying I'm sure, of course, but it could be allergies.
