Bad teeth could cause very strong pain that can even affect the head so you should have your teeth checked at the dentist’s office.
Your headache can also be due to the prolonged usage of ibuprofen. It sounds paradoxical for a painkiller to cause a headache but that is a proven fact if the NSAID painkiller is used continuously in high doses.
Upper respiratory infections, especially sinusitis, can also cause a headache.
TMJ-syndrome is another possible reason for your symptoms.
A cluster headache can also cause these sudden headache attacks.
You may want to consult a neurologist, dentist, and ENT-specialist about your condition.
