"Can smoking cause chronic daily headaches?

Question

I have been smoking for 30 years, but about 2 years ago I began to have chronic daily headaches. I have been through CAT scans, MRI's, physical therapy, pain management, etc., but nothing has stopped the headaches. Just wondering if smoking may be causing them.

Answer 1

I doubt it very much. I would think more along the lines of allergies or chronic sinus infection.

Answer 2

To be honest I doubt it.
What is more likely is lack of water.

Most people live in a constant state of dehydration! I would wonder how much water are you drinking a day?
A way to tell how hydrated your body is is the color of your unrine! Unless it is clear you are dehydrated!
Since we are 80% water the brain as well as the rest of the body needs water.
Things that do not count even though they contain water are.
1. Coffee
2. Soda
3. Iced Tea
4. Beer

None of these things can get you the water your body needs.
The best I can say is DRINK WATER!

Answer 3

Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil, it runs rough and causes damage.
With all the things you have tried have you considered getting a book on muscles? There is one out that claims to have a 75% success rate on helping people get out of pain. It is The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. Wishing you a pain free future.

Answer 4
