Hi and welcome to EHEALTHforum!

If the headache is changing its character to worse overtime and is accompanied with dizziness, usually, needs serious medical attention.
When the condition of sinusitis (difficulty breathing through the nose, tenderness in the face or aching behind the eyes, frequent yellow or greenish discharge from your nose or drainage down the back of your throat) recurs or endures longer than 12 consecutive weeks, it is called a case of chronic sinusitis.

Do you have the symptoms I've mentioned above?
Do you have headaches every day?
Does the headache recur more and more often as time passes?
Is the headache worse when you lay down?
Is it worse when you first awake?

Are you experiencing hearing loss, ear pressure or ear ringing?
Do you feel neck pain and neck stiffness?
Have you noticed some weakness in your arms?

Do you have limited ability to flex the head to the side (bend the head toward the shoulder) and limited ability to rotate the head?
Are you experiencing pain in neck that continues to get worse and neck stiffness that progressively worsens?


I think all of your symptoms are due to cervical spondylosis, disorder caused by abnormal wear on the cartilage and bones of the neck.
