Chronic Migraines and Chronic Headaches

There are many times trying to ascertain whether it is a Severe Migraine or a Severe Headache when one awakes in the middle of the night is not an easy decision. Should I take a Naratriptan 2.5mg tablet, should I take a Sumatriptan Injection (Stat-Dose) or should I take a Ibuprofen PM tablet or a Diazepam 5 mg tablet; or a combination. Can you get a Chronic Migraine and Chronic Headache at the same time? I do get both at times where the left side of my Head gets sharp pains leading to a Migraine and the right side of my head has a different pain than a Migraine. No matter which I choose to address; some of the time it is a no win situation. Right now, I have a Migraine on my left side of my head and a headache on the right side as I am typing. I will try and address the migraine and hopefully that will relieve my Headache on the right side of my head. I will also take an ice pack, no matter what I choose; just to get some relief. An Injection right now and an ice pack and to bed.
