Can you give any more details? When did they start? Is there a pattern eg at similar times of day, after taking a particular drug, etc? Are there other symptoms - eg visual disturbance, nausea? You can find headache/migraine diaries online which detail the kind of information you need to be recording in order to figure out the cause and how to stop them.

Im ready to start...
