does caffein help headaches?

Answer 1

Yes, it can. Caffeine will make more blood flow to your brain, open up the blood vessels. So it can help.

Answer 2

Caffeine is a common ingredient in many prescription and over-the-counter headache medications. Caffeine additives make pain-relievers 40% more effective in treating headaches. Caffeine also helps the body absorb headache medications more quickly, bringing faster relief. By adding caffeine and, in turn, taking less medication, you can reduce the risk for potential side effects and possible drug addiction.

so in some cases yes caffein does work but in combination with pain pills like excedrin. Excedrin does have caffeine in their medication.

Hope this helped you out.

Unless you have caffiene every day and then DON'T have it- that will cause a headache too.
