Headaches That Lasts For 20-45 Minutes Every Night
I have had headaches every night for the last 3 weeks... The pain is pretty severe and always on the right side of my head. The pain always occurs at night or in the very early morning. Ive been to the doctor and they think its migraines, but I d like a second opinion. I ve never heard of a migraine occurring EVERY night for weeks... please help.

A migraine headache is a form of vascular headache. Migraine headache is caused by vasodilatation (enlargement of blood vessels).The increasing enlargement of the arteries magnifies the pain. periodicity is the key note of migraine. (as in your case every night)
