I have just recently, within the last month got my eye brow pierced, and it seems to me that since I have had it done, I am experiencing more headaches.  Is this possible?

It can possibly be causing your headaches, but I can't really say for sure since different people react differently to piercings.  Has it been sore at all lately?

No, there hasn't been any soreness at all.  In fact, it feels perfectly fine.  But the headaches concerened me...

I know this might sound stupid, but can you see the jewelry out of the corner of your eye?  I could see mine and sometimes I would focus on it (dont ask me why) and that would give me a headache.  Is that a possibility for you?

No, I don't see it.  I have seen it a few times, but I always move it up in the hole so that it isn't visible.  But no, I don't concentrate on it.  I had only just today started wondering if the headaches might be from the piercing, because as I said, it has never hurt, except for the very first day, the swelling went down after the first day, and so on.  No problems with it whatsoever.

If it is in your line of sight it could very well cause headaches, but since it isn't for you I would say that the headaches are probably caused by something else, especially since you have had no problems out of it.  
 
I know how it is to have constant headaches, because I have them too.  I have a prescription for mine.  You may want to go to the doctor to make sure nothing serious is wrong.  If they just diagnose you with "migraines", they'll give you a prescription to either prevent them, or make them quickly go away once you feel one coming on. :)
