I've had constant headaches for years now. I'm a very high-stress person and the littlest thing can stress me out. I'm in college and during class I always get headaches, I used to in my high school classes as well. I also feel tension in my neck most of the time and have minor scoliosis. That could be part of it I'm not sure. My mom has really bad back issues and has headaches a lot too. I told my doctor and she said it's probably from stress, they never took X-rays or an MRI. My cousin also got really bad migraines and her MRI and X-rays were clear, no tumor. Do you think stress is the reason I get headaches a lot? Also recently, my wisdom teeth are growing in, and my temples sometimes hurt idk why. Any ideas?

I'm not a doctor... This is just an idea...

My boyfriend is prone to migraines and this is actually hereditary. His father has migraines, his son has migraines. There is also a risk of annurisms in the family.

There is medicine that can help to treat migraines... You should visit a doctor and tell him what's going on. I'm not sure if something like this would pop up on a MRI or CAT scan.

I've noticed that when he isn't stressed out, he's less prone to migraines. For a stretch last year, two to three months I think... He didn't have one, just because he was so darn happy. Lately he's been having them quite a bit... I know he's stressed about work and his grandmother recently passed.

In any case, I would suggest visiting your doctor.
