Sounds like a migraine. Have you been to the doctor? If not you should go and be checked out as soon as you can just to be sure there is nothing serious wrong with you.
I suffer from migraines also. My advice is to close your curtains and blinds so the room is dark and rest with a cool wet washcloth over your eyes and forehead. Excedrin migraine helps alot also. It's definately the best over the counter medicine you can take for a headache. Good luck, I hope you feel better soon. Headaches are horrible to live with.

I get migraines as so does my mothers side of the family. They all have perscriptions for medication. If I feel one coming on, and I have to catch it before it gets into a full blown state or its hopeless. I find the only thing that works for me is Anacin, for some reason. I've just about taken everything that is over the counter. Vicks on the forhead and a tight rag tied tight is my grandmothers ole home remedy, and it gives some relief until my aspirin starts working. Of course don't go out in public looking or smelling like this. lol

Aspirin or Panadol will work great for head-aches. Get some rest. No coffee or tea. Avoid stress. If the head-ache persists, go to the doctor. There is a lot of reason for headaches. Rotting tooth maybe a cause. Get well soon.

Drink a little bit of vinegar. You may have high blood pressure. Vinegar is good for a headache even if you don't have high blood pressure. Hope you feel better soon.
Also- may be a sinus infection.

that happened to me before and usually if you already took some medicine and you wake up and you still have it thats bad so go to your doctor and ask for midrin, its really good you take it as soon as your headache starts so it wont get worse or last for days and its not a narcotic so you can stay up when you take it.

It's probably seasonal.. Take something similar to Tylenol Allergy Sinus and see if it improves. It you begin sneezing or coughing colored phlegm then call the dr!

Not enough sleep
Not eating well or not eating at all
Stress out
Caffeine with-drawl/smoking
I would take Excedrin Migraine. It helps for any sort of head ache.

Me too. Turns out to be a sinus and ear infection. Needed antibiotics. See a dr.
