Not called Katie	Depends how high a pain threshold you have, try laying down for a while with your eyes closed, sleep if you can. I don't like taking tablets and will do only as a last resort if it doesn't go away after a few hours or if I go to bed with a headache and awake with one I'll take something, but generally I either just try and ignore it and see if it goes by itself or I try laying with my eyes closed or have a nap.

sabrina	There are a number of things you could try: 1. Lie down in a dark room for 10 minutes 2. lie with a cold facecloth over your eyes for 10 mins 3. Buy new product "forehead" which you just rub over your forehead 4. Tie a man's tie around your head like "Rambo" style, this takes the pressure off your brain. If headache still persists maybe see dr for blood tests. This could be an under-lying problem!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cookiemunstr21	Sometimes headaches are caused by dehydration so my advice is to drink plenty of water. Then open a window, turn all the lights off and sit in a dark room and breathe the fresh air. Sometimes a nice head or neck massage can help to relieve the symptoms. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kyle	if it is really bad you could put some heat on it to make it go away. also getting off the computer and not watching TV and just lieing down may help. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Cherry	Sleep!! That's the best way to get rid of one for me. I get horrific migraines and when I'm out of meds, sleep is my medicine. Also, you can draw putting ice on your head or even a cold rag across your eyes. In that same respect, heat also works on the back of your neck (for tension headaches). You could try diffusing Peppermint Oil and breathing that in. It's worked for me before. Massage is another way, if you have the time. Yoga breathing works as well. There is also a spot between your thumb and forefinger, in the fleshy part of your hand, that when direct pressure is applied will help to ease a headache. There are many ways to get rid of one without meds, but sleep is probably your best bet. Good luck and feel better! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sportyblush	Try a heating pad placed under your head. The heat will relieve pressure by allowing blood to flow more freely in your head. Lie still in a darkened room with your eyes closed. This advice worked for me when I had a migraine recently. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

allgoodwithgod	I get migraines & sinus headaches a lot. I've already had 3 awful ones this month alone. Here are some things I do before I reach for my 24hr pills: I lay down in a dark room and put a heating pad behind my neck making sure part of it touching part of the back of my head too. I try not to read or being around to much noise (which is hard with 3 kids who are home with me all day long). I also noticed with this last migraine I had I got an ice pack and put it on the top of my head for a bit too. That helps me. If I put a little bit of ice under my top lip that seems to help. (weird i know but it helps a bit). One thing I tried when I had a VERY bad headache I read online that if you put your feet in VERY VERY VERY hot water for as long as you can it helps pull all the blood to your feet so less blood is in your head. I know it sounds weird and crazy but it did just ease up my headache some. Being in a very dark room always helps me.
