Any advice about heavy headaches?

Question

Hi,

I've been having bad headaches for years and I'm only 21. I did tests and everything was ok. But sometimes my headaches start in the morning and finish the next day. It's killing me, they are everyday! I dont know what to do, I took pills but they never helped.

Answer 1

Headaches are complex problems and there is no easy solution.
It is best to find out the source/cause of your recurrent or chronic headaches. However, your description of severe prolonged headaches sounds like they could be a type of migraine.
Otherwise, first try the simple solutions first paracetamol/acetaminophen/Tylenol or aspirin (I prefer Excedrin personally) go to a darkened quiet room and lie down. Avoid bright lights and prolonged computer use.
If you are having recurrent or chronic headaches you need to see a health care provider. They can pick the proper abortive medication for the acute headache and possibly prescribe a preventive medication if your headaches are too frequent.
If you feel you need to see a doctor, go to the following site prior to your visit:

www.headaches.org

In the consumer area, see the educational resources tab.
Print and fill out the headache diary as shown.
See the How to talk to your headache doctor page.
I also recommend the pages on analgesic rebound, and diet.

Do not take Imitrex of any one else’s migraine medication without a health care provider’s approval.
I have seen patients with severe hypertensive crisis bordering stroke and cardiac problems due to taking a medication which was inappropriate for them. Also there are some types of migraine which are not recommended for the new migraine wonder drugs, ie. Hemiplegic and basilar artery migraines.

There are many non medication methods which are beneficial also, such as biofeedback, and acupuncture. Chiropractic is an option, but you should be evaluated to make sure you do not have one of the types of headaches which make chiropractic dangerous to your health. Unfortunately, there are some Chirpractic practitioners who are not cautious about this, and not versed in the diagnosis of complicated migraine variants.

Seek the assistance of your primary care clinic and if no improvement a specialist in headaches.

I will caution you that there is no 100% cure for headaches, and if anyone tells you that they can cure them 100% of the time they are a fool or a quack. That being said, there are many options

As a fellow migraine sufferer, I wish you the best.

The cause of this h/a is generally the excess liver fire. It is already excessive till 30 but worsens with sour and spicy foods or alcohole.

There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases like RA, Back ache, earache etc. Hence they become chronic.

Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES,
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.

Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.

Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.

These useless drugs have enormous power to create hazardous side effects like liver/kidney failure, ulcer, acidity and lot others.

Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help you if cough is not there.

But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.

Pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds!
