Good news - the doctor said I'll live!
OK - not that I thought I had a brain tumor or anything weird, I was still worried about my headache. My doctor let me talk and I explained how it started, what it felt like and what I've done abut it.
He said it is a tension headache and Tylenol won't help much. He said the washcloth trick is good, but you can do the same thing with a heating pad and you won't burn your fingers LOL!!
He said it is not a sinus headache, which I knew already. Anyway, I feel better talking to him about it!
So I came home had lunch and then went in the pool! Now if it will just go away completely!

@AbbyGreenhill I agree, I have heating pads and I also always keep cold pads in the freezer, you never know. When I hurt my knee, I used the cold pads.

@LadyDuck I have a few of those cold packs also - they do come in handy. Time for me to take a shower, the day is getting old already!

You seem to have a much better doctor than i do. As mine just blamed my pain on sinus headache which i knew it wasnt.

@AbbyGreenhill ......How odd. Have you had an eye exam lately? Maybe it was eye strain.

This is not a migraine, not the same at all, which is why I worried.

I tried the heating pad in the beginning but found the washcloth idea worked and felt better @AbbyGreenhill . The heating pad is just too bulky. I'm so glad it truly wasn't something serious.

The heating pad I have would work fine, but I didn't even get it out yet...so far so good.

I kept having headaches, and I guess they were tension. I got an adjustment from the chiropractor and he put some pressure on some spots in my neck and on the back of my skull. It sure helped. Other than that, I do like to do heat treatments. I take a white tube sock, fill it with white rice and sew up the end or tie a knot in the end.I microwave it one to two minutes and use it on the back of my neck. I hope you continue to get better and better. I am glad you will live.
