I saw the psychologist and he said I did not have anxiety and was not depressed.
I hope I'm not out of line by asking this question on PS.com. I've tried to find out by calling a recruiter but I never get a clear answer.

From your question, there are more questions. Are you looking to a military career? In that this is a Special Forces forum, are you looking to enter the pipeline for selection? Do you still have the headaches? In that you really have no clear diagnosis for your headaches, a recruiter will have a hard time giving you a clear answer. Hard to waiver an undiagnosed condition.
Perhaps go back to square one; visit your primary care provider. Get a diagnosis for your headaches, and a treatment plan. Then go to a recruiter to see if your headache diagnosis is something that will allow you to serve in the military.
Headaches are a huge issue. For general medical advice outside of your doctors office, I would suggest starting with an online information source such as Web MD.
I wish you the best.
