have you been out in the sun alot recently as it could be heat related, try sitting in a cool dark room and hopefully this will help, also a cold wash cloth helps sometimes

I had problems with headaches in high school too. Some really bad - would wake up in the middle of the night in severe pain, near tears. I never really figured it out.

Here are a few suggestions though:
Drink a lot of water.
Watch sun exposure - limit it and always wear sunglasses
At first hint of headache, take something right away - like tylenol

If headaches continue, try to identify triggers:
hormonal
certain foods
exposure to sunlight
etc.

Then see your doctor. They may ask you to keep a journal.

i would do all the above, another thing you could try is visiting the optician, i used to suffer with bad headaches when i was 14, it turned out i needed glasses for reading, writing and tv.
Id defo recomend the dark room with a cool flannel over your head, but like it has been said above, this sun doesnt help, its terrible!
hope you feel better soon.
