swing your head back and fourth until it flies out JK,
Headache
There are many types of headaches and many causes to headaches. Now I'm a headache sufferer myself so I've tried a lot of these remedies. Hopefully these tips will help you as well. I will segment the headache section into groups, so here are all the cures for the different types.
Tension Headaches, now the simplest way and usually the most effective is just to take an aspirin, however, there are natural treatments that may help you. Placing a warm pad on the back of your head or you can try taking a warm shower or bath. Also if you can reduce your stress you'll suffer less from the pain of a tension headache.
Migraine Headaches, I would suggest that a doctor's visit is in order if you have migraine headaches often, it can give you crippling pain and makes you feel just miserable. There are many causes of a migraine, try and reduce stress levels, and when you feel it coming on lie down in a quiet dark room. Now I find this to be very helpful if you feel a headache of any type coming on, but it really does help to relieve the pain of a migraine. You can also apply a cold compress to your head and a warm one to your neck. Breathe nice and slowly and just relax.
Caffeine can also help, caffeine constricts the blood vessels which widen during a migraine headache. Now, I'm not a big fan of this treatment because you can become addicted to caffeine, and if you don't have a caffeine you can get a headache, so just use it when you have a headache.
Sinus Headache, this occurs when there is an infection in the sinuses. This one you should go to the doctor.
Some helpful hints on getting rid of a headache
Dip a handkerchief in white vinegar and wrap it around your head. Now, I use this one myself, but sometimes I just eliminate the white vinegar and just use the handkerchief tied around my head.
Try acupressure, try rubbing the space between your index finger and your thumb, this can work sometimes.
Taking your aspirin with coffee can really make the aspirin more effective...it makes it work faster and better, but remember about the danger of caffeine addiction.
Run your hands under hot water, this can also be an effective way to stop a headache.

uh yea, computers are bad... emit too many EMF's and light. Sit in a quiet, dark room and do deep breathing. This will let more oxygen into your blood which will increase blood production, helping blood flow to the brain to ease the stricture causing your headache. Also drink some water - room temperature, not cold

Wear sunglasses, turn the light off, go take a nap, wait a couple of hours and take half the medicine dose, shut the computer off. Good luck!

Go to bed and turn off all the lights. Try a cool cloth on your head and wait for the meds to kick in.

photophobia (light sensitivity) is a common symptom of migraines. look for lifestyle modifications to get rid of the triggers. I'm talking Caffienne, salt, stress, loud headphones, lack of proper sleep and exercise, high blood pressure. Much more. Learn to monitor your body and what you do to it in the course of your living.
