I've been getting headaches lately

[The Sum of Awe]

It's been happening for a month now. It started infrequently, maybe a couple a week. But lately it's been almost every day I'm at work. I had one yesterday at work, passed in about a half hour. I had another one at work today and now another one after work right now.

It's just a small spot. Kind of behind my left eye, but more towards the side and by the top of the head.

Should I go through the trouble of paying for a doctor? Or should I see if it passes? It could just be stress, I am somewhat stressed especially at my job.

Could it be eyestrain?

See a doctor.

Usually headaches are caused by dehydration. However it might be something more serious.
I strongly recommend a check up.

Could it be eyestrain?

Possible. I am looking at my computer a lot. However, the headaches will come even when I haven't had screen time in a while. At work I almost never look at screens.

Is work well lit?

I think I'll do that. I'm not dehydrated, I drink quite a good amount of water.

Is work well lit?

Yes it is

A friend of mine had that problem and when she asked around, her colleagues also suffered from occasional headaches at work. Turned out that mould had accumulated in the AC causing the problems.

Personally I'd go see a doctor although i don't have to pay to see my doctor, that may influence my decision

It's possibly something serious but more likely nothing to concern yourself about but it's worth knowing just in case

I agree with @JustGeorge here, given the frequency, duration, and location of the headache.

I would make an appointment to see an optometrist.

See a doc.

Should I go through the trouble of paying for a doctor?

Only if you want an informed opinion.
