"Thins your blood" isn't really why aspirin and ibuprofen help treat headaches. When you're in a state of inflammation, your body produces something called arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid can then go down one of two pathways. One of these is called the "Cyclooxygenase pathway" whereby arachidonic acid produces certain inflammatory mediators including prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain. This is why aspirin and ibuprofen are good at decreasing your pain, but they cannot always completely cause it to go away--the lipoxegnase pathway is not affected by aspirin and ibuprofen. Hope this helps you understand.

3 parts pepperment oil to one part lavender oil mixed together.. Rub on you temples forehead and neck. The pepperment has a cooling effect and the lavender is soothing. I've had headachs for 40 years and it really helps me alot.

Try just putting a cold washcloth on your forehead and then relaxing. The cold compress draws the headache out.

Tylenol (Acetaminophen) contains no aspirin properties and is safe for the stomach.

Tylenol - and what's this about a "suspected" peptic ulcer? That's very easy to diagnose and treat - it takes five days of antibiotics, period.

The idiot who suggested caffeine is stupid. Caffeine will GIVE you headaches.
Try co-codamol.
BUT before you take any advice from here ask your doctor first.

I think Panadol has a pill that is not taxing on the stomach ulcer.
