After an abnormal CT scan last week, this week my head was still pounding and my vision started to lose focus and went blurry and just strange crap.  

Anyway after 3 neurologists looked at me and a lumbar puncture they decided to put me on a beta blocker.  Said I have tension headaches combined with migraine and maybe cluster headaches onto of it.

I just got rated for headaches at the end of last year.  Is this enough to warrant a higher rating?  I am assuming they will not get better as I have yet to have anything go away.

Should I wait it out and see what happens?

You have to distinguish the headaches apart. For instance, are you having a normal headache because of front sinus or not drinking water and staying hydrate. Water balance is very important and lack of it is why we have so many sores and aches. Do you have oral/jar issues?

edit - typo; jaw not jar

You are right water plays a big role in it.  typically I keep very hydrated and I have had a ton today.  But this pain is different in that it runs the base of my skull to the front of my eye.  It was also causing a bunch of vision issues and that is when they told to come in.
