Answer 1

See a doctor. You will want to rule out any serious causes, and if you have recurring migraines, a doctor can prescribe various very effective medications according to the frequency and severeity that you get them.

A new kind of headache should never just be dismissed without being checked out by medical staff. It may be a symptom to something chronic and/or serious.

Recurring types of headaches should also be checked out, for the same reasons, and then to get treatment so that in the future you don't have to suffer so with them.

Answer 2

First of all, I agree with all the others who say, " see a Dr. first, and be checked out"....there are certain tests they can do, but, migraines are not somthing that can be detected by any tests....Dr.'s rule out everything else, (like brain tumors and such) and when they can't find anything else wrong, they usually say it's migraines. I've had them since I was 10 years old, and I'm 46 now...they got better for a while, and when I hit menopause, they became unbearable. I know have a pain Dr. and he gives me shots in my neck to help with the migraines, and I'm on several different types of pain meds. But, for starters, I think you've been given some good advice so far....start with a nice hot bath..steam seems to help sometimes, go into a dark, quiet room...my room has to be ice cold...if I am too warm, it only makes the headache worse. Ice packs help, aromatherpy works, massages work, there is nothing over the counter that I would say works, I've tried everything. So...baths, dark, quiet rooms, ice packs, massages, candles seem to help some people...you just have to try and see what works for you. hope this helps...and hope the headaches get better!!!

Start keeping a headache journal. When you have a headache, write down everything you ate in the 24 hours before it started; this includes caffeine, chocolate, types of cheeses, preservatives in foods, etc. (for preservatives, you have to read a lot of fine print: nitrates, nitrites, sulfites, MSG - monosodium glutamate)

How long did it last? On a 1-10 scale, how severe was the pain? Where did it hurt. What, if any, treatment helped it.

Keep track of any emotional distress during that time also.

Then see your family doctor; he/she may refer you to a headache clinic. Even then, it may take some time to find the right treatments/medications that will help. You may even have to be admitted to a headache floor of a hospital for a few days for specilized medication/food care.

In severe cases, you may need an MAO Inhibitor (medication) and diet restrictions. But believe me, it is worth it to be free (or almost free) of migraines.

Answer 4

My first suggestion is that you make an appointment to see your family doctor. Severe headaches that last for several days can be a sign of a medical issue or you may be one of the millions of people who suffers from chronic migraines.

For at-home remedies for headaches and migraines, there are a few things you could try:
Apply an ice pack to the painful area of your head. Try placing it on your forehead, temples or the back of your neck.

Take a warm bath or shower; take a nap; or take a walk.

Ask someone to rub your neck and back, or treat yourself to a massage.

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.

Also, you can take over-the-counter medications like Tylenol, Advil, or I have found Excedrin to be particularly helpful with headaches, but use such medication only when absolutely needed and do not take it for long periods of time. And, of course, home treatments and non-prescription drugs are not a substitute for seeing your doctor.

Answer 5

Sounds like a trip to the doctor to me...When I have a headache I take some ibuprofen and turn everything off and close my eyes. Sometimes an icepack switched out with a hot cloth works too. Remember the brain is a mussel and that mussel is contracting so that is why you have a headache. Another good thing to do is put some mussel relaxer on it.

Answer 6

I like to use essential oils in my bath. Mellisa oil is good. I used to get violent headaches that were sickening. probably because my eyes were getting very weak. So have a chat with your optician and doctor about it. The bishop of Shrewsbury put his hand on my head and prayed for me, and two weeks later I was completely healed. I had these head aches for about 6 months. I hope you are better soon. Making nice friends can also help and keep away from people that are unkind to you or you are not happy with. Make wise friends and you will be wise too. But making foolish friends you can grow like them.

Answer 7

I suffer from migrains and a couple of things help mine. One is eating ice, if you can stand to eat a huge glass of ice that will ease it some. Also take a banana peel and place one strip across forehead and the other on back of neck , lie down like that for awhile that also helps. But the best thing I have found is sleep. I hope this helps.

Answer 8

First you have to be absolutely certain that it is a migrane and not a brain tumor...

Even the doctors are of little value in this situation.

Be in a quiet dark room and try to get some sleep...

Answer 9

There is no over the counter medicine for migraines (at least not one that works). Ask your doctor about Fioricet. Mine always start with my eyes and if I take one then, my head never even starts to hurt.
