Suffer From Headaches And Pressure In The Head. Need A Remedy?

My 18 year old son has had headaches throughout his teens to now. I recently found out that he has felt pressure on both sides of his head for most of his life and also has soft spots on both sides near the top and far above the ears. He drinks a lot of water every day, weighs around 300 lbs, and is 6 feet 5 inches tall. He can also run a 1/4 mile very quickly without getting out of breath, does not have high blood pressure, and is not diabetic. He says it feels like air [pressure] is under the soft spots and he gets headaches a lot in the same area. What can be done to stop the headaches and pressure?
