Pain in neck (base of skull) that radiates through ears and up to forehead?

About once a week, I have been getting unbearable dull pains that start at the base of my skull and radiate on the sides of my jaw to my ears and up through my temples onto my forehead. This problem started years ago, but only happened once every couple of months. Now the frequency has gradually increased to about once a week. I have been taking two Aleve capsules and sometimes they help, but tonight they have done nothing. I will not fall asleep until the pain stops or decreases and sometimes wake up from it. I am a fifteen year old female with endometriosis and POTS syndrome, but I do not think these symptoms are related to either condition. My symptoms seem similar to a "stress headache" but I am not a stressed person. Please Help!
