Headaches?

Question

I've been having headaches over the past few days. The past few weeks have been crud, i had the flu, and have been worrying over my mother and my pet. I've also just finished up my montly cycle. Are my headaches related to any of that, since all those issues are clearing up? And should i just take advil, or let them go away on their own?

Answer 1

These headaches are probaly caused by stress, so they should go away. Here are a few things that will help

1. Hot Baths
2. Advil
3. Relaxing in a dark room
4. Drinking a lot of water
5. Coca cola and other caffinated drinks help
6. Relaxing and calming down your entire life.
7. If they dont help, there is HeadOn, which actually works.
8. If none of this helps and the headaches get worse, see a doctor.

Answer 2

These are great tips. (I will thumbs up them).
I wanted to add though to ease your mind that your hormones and flu likely were the culprit to the headache and stress never helps any illness. So try to do a little "me" time and alternate the tylenol with the advil to help the pain at the four hour mark.
Until the headache feels better - try this for a day or two and if your headache gets worse at any moment (call your MD).

Relax with a steamy shower or hot bath
place some cold compress's on your head.
And sleep always helps.

Answer 3

Yes to all above except the last bit. Unless you have a stomach ulcer, take two Advil with water. Do not exceed 6 per day, and only for a few days. Drink plenty of water, you may be dehydrated with that flu. Try some chamomile tea, that often helps too

Answer 4

It definitely sounds like the stress in your life has been causing the headaches. I think you should take some medicine to help the headaches go way. I've also enclosed a link where you can learn about deep breathing exercises. This helps remove stress from the body as well as improve your health.

Answer 5

Worry is the worst problem. It increases all sorts of problems like loss of appetite, constipation and weakness are a few.
You try to do your duty and leave other things to great God.
Don't take any meds for headache, there is no med to treat pain! Just prey God, Your H/A will disappear naturally.

Answer 6

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 available at
