My husband has been experiencing migraines for years, with known triggers including strawberry mold, certain preservatives in cold cuts, weather changes, and sleep apnea. Since being diagnosed with sleep apnea and using a CPAP machine, his headaches have decreased significantly. However, in the past few months, they have increased in both frequency and duration, reaching up to 50 hours. He experiences pressure in his head, especially with activity, followed by a runny nose and a need for a bowel movement. Taking Advil reduces the headache from a pain level of 6 to 1-2, but it now requires more Advil to achieve the same effect. Is there anything concerning about these headaches or the fact that they are increasing in frequency and length? Is Advil around the clock until they are gone a safe treatment? Are there any other potential causes or treatments we should consider?

I was lifting damp leaves and turning them into sacks, which led to severe lumbar pain the next morning. I have seen an osteopath who says there is no disc damage, but I have had a herniated disc before. The pain makes me feel nauseous. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?
