I have a horrible headache that I cannot get rid of... does anyone have any suggestions?

Answer 1

Try an ice pack on the place where the pain is worst and on the back of your neck,as well as on the temples, and make sure you are well hydrated, (Plenty of fluids) as dehydration can cause severe headaches. Since you don't know what is causing it, you may not want to take anything until you find the cause.A simple icepack is effective and will not compromise any other tests or medications your Dr., (should you decide to go to see one) may prescribe.

Answer 2

I advise visiting your family physician as soon as possible. If you have to wait a bit for an appointment, try taking some decongestants as sinus pressure can cause terrible headaches. If you haven't been to the eye doctor recently then I suggest that you make an appointment as vision problem can also cause headaches. Have your significant other/friend massage your neck, head and shoulders for a while as sometimes neck pain causes headaches. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water and eating properly.

Personally, I find relief from my worst headaches by taking two tylenol followed by two advil about an hour later and a large glass of water followed by a nap in a dark room. No matter what, you should go see your doctor.

Answer 3

First. Drink 3 large glasses of water within about 1/2 hour. Add a little salt (preferably real salt, which has trace minerals) to the second glass. Dehydration is a causative factor in most headaches.

Answer 4

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!
