Reason for headaches.?

I've been worrying about my headaches recently. I keep having them alot. Like, every other day or every couple days i'll get one. I usually try to avoid tylenol or anything and let it go away on its own but sometimes I just HAVE to take tylenol. They aren't migraines ( i dont think ) i'm sure i would know if it WAS one. But, they do hurt.. and are annoying. I've also been having headaches for months now. I mean, I've had headaches alot all my life. lol.. I just remember I used to take ibuprofen for them all the time, but like I said theyve never been BAD headaches. Just hurt a little and very annoying. Anyway, they are more frequent now that i've been on Prozac, so i dont know if thats the cause of them. My husband did get laid off from work and i have been a little worried about finances so im not sure if its stress related. My anxiety is telling me "GO GET YOUR HEAD CHECKED OUT INCASE OF A BRAIN ANEURYSM" .... :( I would just like to know if anyone else has headaches a lot and if maybe I SHOULD go get some piece of mind and get checked out?

dear mm, it is quite likely that your headaches are because of a combination of the things you mentioned: new medication, financial stress and general anxiety, but any increase in headaches should be discussed with your doctor at your next scheduled appointment,or sooner if they are really increasing in frequency or intensity. its probably nothing major, but yes, as you say, for your own peace of mind, you should at least let your doctor know, and they will decide whether to investigate further. try to relax whenever you can, blessings

Cut to the chase. Make an appointment with your doctor and discuss your concerns honestly and openly. The longer you wait, the more time you spend wondering "what if" and that's never a productive route.
