Headache, Under Stress. Taking Ibuprofen. Cause Of Headache?

Im a 50 year old female. Ive had a headache for 7 days now. It starts at the base of my neck and ends up throughout my whole head. It hurts worse when I cough. I take 4 ibuprofen 3 or 4 times a day to control it. The pain wakes me at night. Its a constant pain, not throbbing unless I cough or bend over. I do not have any congestion nor have I been under any more stress than usual. What could be causing this headache?!

This could be sinusitis, drink a plenty off water or either hot drinks take steam inhalation, avoid exposing to much bright light, try second generation anti histamine, continue taking ibuprofen with Paracetamol, it will come around very soon have nice day.
