I am fairly healthy and I drink as much water as I can, but I cannot get rid of these headaches. I've been ill recently; the rest of my body is getting better but my head is constantly aching.
Could this be due to my diet or am I not drinking enough water?
I've tried paracetamol/aspirin but these don't always work.
My job involves a lot of concentration as I drive, and also work at the computer a lot, but I try to take regular rests.
Any advice?

It could be the aftermath of your recent illness. It could be your eyes need testing, it could be tension. It could be a lot of things. Get a check up if it lasts much longer, as regular 'pill popping' is counterproductive.

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

May be it is work related.first get your eyes tested.before that go for a Blood pressure checkup.there cant be any other reason.you can also try giving rest to your eyes at every 45 minutes interval by washing in cold water and seeing faraway objects.this will give relief if you do not get tested positive for sight defect

Eyes! My daughter just had a check after lots of headaches, and it was her eyes - even though it is only 12 months since her last check I think its an occupational hazard for those of us working on computers a lot.

Have you tried having a test for eye sight it may just be a small loss but it can cause terrible head aches. Also are you also going to the toilet alot? If so try asking your doctor about diabeties.

Cut down your water intake. Your body can only handle so much. The rest is wasted and can start to slow the body down.

Go get checked out. If the headache becomes constant and nothing takes it away you obviously have something going on. It's better to get checked out than let it go.

You have gotten good advice from others. I would start with an eye exam. You may need glasses specifically for computer use

You might need glasses? Or you could have a food allergy (citrusy things give me headaches) Or it could be the computer screen so try wearing sunglasses, or it could be stress or tiredness.
