What Causes Frontal Headaches In The Mornings?

I have been having daily frontal headaches for over 3 weeks. They are often present when I wake up. At first I was getting relief with 2 long lasting Tylenol and 1 aleve but my neurologist said the aleve would cause rebound headaches so I quit taking the aleve. The neurologist thought I was having psychological headaches but now 2 weeks later, I don t think that is the cause. I do have chronic migraines but these are not migraines. They are both burning and dull headaches. I sometimes get relief from the Tylenol alone but not always. I am not using Excedrin because I am very sensitive to caffeine and too much of it can trigger headaches. I do not consume caffeine. I have tried Imitrex on 2 occasions but it does not work with these headaches. I don t know what to do next.
