Brief Answer:
Get a CT Scan of brain done. Take naproxen.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query. I understand the dismal situation that you are in. The cause of the headache needs to be identified. It could be due to migraine or tension headache. It could also be due to intracranial causes like tumors. The cause needs to be investigated. A CT Scan of the brain would provide valuable clues in this regard. Thereafter you can try taking Aleve (naproxen) 500 mg one or two tablets together when needed (preferably in full stomach). Hopefully that would help.

The tinnitus could be due to sensorineural degenerative changes that often occurs due to advancement in age. Taking vestibulocochlear stabilizing agents like cinnarizine or betahistine (prescription meds) should help.
