rajiv h	If you do not have any disease then simple stress or hyperacidity could be cause. Trapezitis is also one reason. You may try Paracetamol and Ranitidine after contacting your GP.

dbgyog	William one thing doesn't suit all because every body is different both physically and constitutionally. Acupuncture suits almost all. If you are in cold country use all warm things. Pl try cold water bath and observe if in hot country, if pain increases use warm. If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help. Massage is good thing, pl try. Add sun bath and exercise to it if possible. Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief. If it fails you will have to go for Acupuncture. There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic. Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it. Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see. Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds. The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more. Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole. Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there. But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong. If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds. For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below. It may disappear naturally too.

ditzi_k	i get migraines really bad. if i'm on the computer too long, or watching tv at night, i'll get them. usually the only thing that really helps is deep breathing exercises in a dark cool room. pain medicine only masks the pain and you can sometimes get what they call rebound headaches if you take too much medicine. rebound as in the next day or a few hours after you thought the headache was gone. drink plenty of water. hydration is very important. make sure if you're not drinking water, avoid alcohol and stick to decaf. caffeine is a diuretic and makes you loose water. that will just make the headache worse. good luck. hope you feel better soon and get some rest. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

chocolatecupcake	I had a really bad headache yesterday (worse than usual) and I took 3 of the Advil Liqui-Gels. It worked like a dream!! I had a headache today (less intense) and took two, and it worked great... I suffer frequently from headaches and what usually works for me is laying down with a bag of ice on my head, or wetting a little towel with some ice water and vinegar (stinky, but it WORKS!! Also works for a fever!!). Sometimes i just stick my head under the faucet and let the cold water run over my head. These things usually work out for me. I hope you feel better!! I know how you feel!!!! =) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lalana	Medicine for migraines... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Hope	Good idea to take Advil. Because Ibuprofen does help with inflammation. Which headaches are from some swelling of the brain. Take some more Advil when it is close to the recommended time. Keeps lights off or dim. Keep the room quiet. You might use a heat pack on your shoulders or lower back to help you relax. Stress is often a cause of headaches, "tension headaches." Some people have found that if they take Advil and drink a Coke- soda pop with it, that helps. Caffeine often can help. Try what works best for you to relax. Take slow deep breaths and concentrate on your breathing. That can help relax and make you sleepy. The body heals best when the body is sleeping. So if not sleeping, just rest. Sleep well.

Song_bird	No medicine has ever cured my headaches i suffer from chronic migraines.. What works best for me is when i Sit in a quiet dark room & Apply an ice pack on my forehead or i take a warm bath If that doesn't work sometimes ~Sleeping~ works wonders, If you can't sleep try taking a walk. You can also ask someone to rub your neck and back.. You can apply Gentle, steady rotating pressure to the painful area of your head with your index finger and/or thumb. Maintain pressure for 7-15 seconds, then release. Repeat as needed. Rest, sit or lie quietly in a low-lit room. Close your eyes and try to release the tension in your back, neck, and shoulders. If you have excessive muscle contractions in the neck, physical therapy exercises performed daily are often helpful Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
