Try not to take pain killers as Rebound headaches can occur in people who take these medications or others more than 10 times per week,and especially if the person takes the maximum recommended dose (or more) each time they take the drug.It is very harmful to overdose. If your problems get worse contact a doctor immediately As the body develops a tolerance to the medication, headaches begin to worsen and become more frequent, resulting in a cycle of increasing dosages and more frequent medication use. Also pain killers have side effects which can be life-threatening.
Identify the cause of your headache. Is it stress, depression, hunger, dehydration.eye strain (i.e. staring at your computer for a long time), tobacco smoke, alcohol, A/C being on heat for a long time, and certain foods. If you get frequent headaches, consider keeping a headache diary to help you identify potential triggers so that you can avoid them.
Remove yourself from the trigger. If you think you know what triggered your headache or, alternately, what’s aggravating it, avoid that thing. If it’s stress, for example, remove yourself from the stressful situation and try to relax. If the sun’s bright light is aggravating your headache, go inside or put on some sunglasses. You can’t get away from some triggers, such as a food that you already ate, but you can avoid them in the future.
Relax. Even if your headache isn’t necessarily caused by stress, relaxing can help speed up your recovery. Meditate, do some yoga, or try any number of relaxation techniques.
Take a nap. If you can manage to get to sleep, your headache will often be gone when you wake up, and you at least won’t have to deal with the pain while you’re sleeping. Even just lying down and resting your eyes may be helpful.
Drink some water. Dehydration is a common cause of headaches, and even if you don’t feel thirsty, you may well benefit from a glass or two of water.
Drink a cup of coffee or herbal tea. Caffeine constricts the blood vessels, which can lessen head pain. But too much may trigger migraines in some people so instead of coffee try an herbal tea. If taken in conjunction with a painkiller, caffeine can also speed up the medicine’s effect, and as a result some painkillers include caffeine. Alternately, you can drink cola.
If you’re a heavy caffeine or soda drinker, you may experience headaches as part of caffeine withdrawal. A jolt of caffeine will usually help, but in the long run, it’s best to break your addiction
Massage your temples, neck, and face. Scientists used to think that tension in the neck, shoulders, and facial muscles caused tension headaches, but this theory has more recently been called into question. That said, muscle tension and circulation issues may contribute to the headaches, and many people find relief through varying massage methods. Simply applying a little pressure to the most painful area or rubbing your head in that vicinity will sometimes provide temporary relief. Massaging – or having someone else massage – your jaw, neck, and shoulders may cause your headache to disappear, as may applying pressure to the back of your neck with three fingers on each side.
Try some simple reflexology. Reflexology is touted as a treatment for all sorts of ailments, and clinical studies seem to confirm its effectiveness for some, including headaches. Use the thumb and index finger of one hand to apply pressure to the fleshy area between the thumb and index finger of the other hand. Hold this for a minute or two. This doesn’t seem to work for everyone, but for some people, this provides immediate relief. The relief may be temporary, or you may get rid of your headache entirely.
Try some Aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is an ancient healing art that has been used to treat and cure stress headaches for ages. It works well whether you are using massage oils or inhaling the different herbal oils. Using aromatherapy to treat headaches is nothing new as this method of healing has been around for centuries.
Use some ice or heat. Icing the affected area is known to help many migraine sufferers, and some people find it effective for tension headaches, though the pain in tension headaches is usually spread out more than it is in migraines. Applying an ice pack to the back of your neck may also help. Conversely, some people swear by a hot pad placed on one of these areas, and others find a hot shower works wonders.
Take a lime, cut it in half, and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
Try mixing some Pepperoncinni Juice with some Tabasco sauce. It works wonders for some people.
