Based on the limited information provided, your symptoms may be suggestive of a primary headache disorder such as tension-type headache or migraine. Other possibilities like hemicrania continua or paroxysmal hemicrania may also need to be considered. However, a definite diagnosis cannot be made without detailed clinical evaluation.
Since the headache has been persistent for more than a year, it is advisable to consult a neurologist for thorough assessment. Clinical examination will help decide if any further investigations (e.g., MRI brain) or specific therapeutic trials are required.
Next Steps
Avoid frequent self-medication and maintain regular sleep, hydration, and stress control.
For accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, an in-person consultation is recommended.
