What is the medical term for everyday headaches?
No. It is not normal to have a migraine every day. It is important, however, to be sure that you are correct in your self-diagnosis. Migraine is a very specific type of headache. It is possible to have daily migraines. Your doctor can help you determine if you do, indeed, have chronic daily migraine headaches. If you do, there are medications that can decrease the number of attacks you have, and other medications that can be fairly effective at stopping the migraines you continue to have with treatment. Two more common cause of daily headaches are (1) withdrawal and (2) rebound headaches. Withdrawal headaches can occur whenever your body is hungering for any number of drugs or substances. Going too long without your daily dose of caffeine or nicotine can trigger a headache as your body tries to tell you that it is time to dose up. These must be addressed by slowly decreasing your intake of that substance, a process sometimes known as "detoxification" or "detox". Rebound headaches are similar, but happen in response to withdrawal from an anti-headache medicine. These classically occur during withdrawal from narcotics, but are actually more common as a result of withdrawal from ibuprofen, acetaminophen (Tylenol), and other over-the-counter headache medications.

Which treatments for migraine headaches are the most effective?
All migraines have a vascular component to them. It used to be believed that this was the primary cause of migraines, however, current research indicates that migraines start with a change in electrical activity in the brain that then causes an inflammatory response. This inflammatory response constricts and then dilates the blood vessels. Abortive treatment for migraines generally involves medication which is going to disrupt this inflammatory response. This can be as simple as 800mg of Ibuprofen or some other NSAID or needing to take one of the triptan medications. Triptan medications as prescription medications which are able to disrupt neuropeptides that cause inflammation. They also decrease the release of several chemicals that are involved in the pain process. If you are having more than two migraines a month, you qualify for preventative medication. All these medications are meds for something else that have been found to work to reduce migraines. Some are anti-depressants, some are anti-seizure medications, some are blood pressure medications. The problem with migraine treatment is that it ends up being highly individualized.The combination of medications that works for one person may not work for another, so the best treatment for you will not be the best treatment for someone else. It usually takes trial and error to discover what will work for you.
Why does migraine pain linger for days even after I took naproxen?
Migraines are qualified as intense throbbing headaches usually last from 4-72 hours. Some people have them longer than 72hours and need emergency care to break the migraine cycle. Naproxen can be helpful, it is an anti-inflammatory, which fights the inflammatory response that is happening during your migraine attack. However, there are many different kinds of medications out there. Some, like naproxen, are non-steroidal-anti-inflammatories. There are stronger ones available by prescription. Sometimes doctors use actual steroids (on a short term basis) to break the migraine. There are also other medications which are geared toward stopping the migraine by working with the chemicals in the brain to help the brain itself stop producing inflammation. This medication category, called triptans, can be paired with medications like naproxen. To find a medication that works for you, especially to find one that stops a migraine in its tracks and keeps it from coming back, whether prescription or not, takes a lot of trial and error.
