I am a 32yr old male. For the last 1 -2 months I have been having severe headaches. I have went to the doctor and he found that I have very high blood pressure and put me on medication, but the headaches have not subsided. He had me go through a CAT scan to rule out the worst possibilities as he put it, which came out fine. I have read a lot to the information and messages on this site and am wondering if this is my problem. I awake in the middle of the night with such a severe headache the only thing I can do is stand in the shower at least until that quit working and now have tried cold compress. Mine seem to start in my shoulder and neck and end up in the center of the right side of my head. Does this seem like it falls into the category of CH? Most of the talk seems to state that it starts behind the eye? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
