I can't speak for others, but I've found my severe headaches are sometimes migrains, other times sinus headaches, retina pain, and/or iris pain. Most of the time, a couple over the counter "migraine" pills helps if I catch it early, most commonly starts in the morning as I wake up. If that doesn't work, in a couple hours a prescribed migraine pill... if I notice my irises are pin hole sized (as closed as can be), I have dilation drops that help. If that doesn't cut it, I'll take a cannabis gummy and just try to sleep until it goes away.
A couple times a year, it lasts for a day or more. That's when it really sucks. I keep on top of taking mucus relief and allergy pills, which keeps down the sinus headaches... but I'm never quite sure what it is, as it's all just sever pain inside my head. Often coming with nausea, severe pain, dizziness and sometimes panic attacks.
I also have chronic back and hip pain as well. I don't like opiates at all, they tend to come with excessive nausea.
