How do you solve a headache?

Answer 1

To answer this I will first explain the different types of headaches and preventative treatments for each, I will then describe my own experience with headaches.

Tension-Type Headache - These headaches are usually stress related. To prevent:

1.) Make sure your getting enough sleep

2.) Practice an effective stress reduction technique (Transcendental Meditation)

3.) Make sure your drinking enough water

Sinus Headaches - If one of your sinuses becomes inflamed, usually as the result of an allergic reaction, or an infection, the inflammation will prevent the outflow of mucus in the sinus and cause pain.

Preventing the inflammation from occurring in the first place will help prevent sinus headaches. Here are some tips:

1.) Eat well to keep your immune system strong, many people are allergic to dairy and this causes sin us headaches.

2.) Exercise regularly. Exercise helps the sinuses drain naturally, which reduces the likelihood that they will become clogged and inflamed.

3.) Avoid cigarette smoke and allergens. If you are sensitive to pollens, molds, pet dander, certain foods or dust, stay away from them.

4.) Drink plenty of water. Good hydration encourages your nose to drain naturally, thereby reducing the chances of nasal and sinus congestion.

Migraine Headaches

Migraines are chronic headaches that can cause significant pain for hours or even days. The cause of migraines is not really known although stress is considered one of the key triggers. Some people find certain food trigger migraines like chocolate or aged cheeses.

To prevent migraines try the following:

1.) Generally improve your health, eat well exercise etc

2.) Avoid cigarette smoke

3.) Avoid excessive caffeine

4.) Avoid alcohol

5.) Avoid stress

6.) Use an effective stress reduction technique (Transcendental Meditation)

Although it's said that migraines cannot be cured my personal experience suggests otherwise. When I was 16 I used to get a migraine headache every few weeks. The headaches where maybe not extremely sever as they only lasted hours not days and would go away once I fell asleep. I would however get all the migraine symptoms including vomiting, blurred vision and sensitivity to light and noise.

The fact that the headache disappeared as soon as I fell asleep led me to believe that the cause was stress related.

When I was 17 I started practicing Transcendental Meditation regularly and even moved to a community where Transcendental Meditation was practiced in groups. The migraines stopped.

I am 32 now and have practiced Transcendental Meditation regularly ever since I was 17, my migraines have not returned. It's impossible to know whether meditation was the reason my headaches stopped but it seems likely to me given the circumstances.

Answer 2

Some people might say aspirin is good, but it may not be, especially if you are giving it to a child.

Headaches may be caused by many things. I get them a lot, and here are some of the things that can help you:

If you find yourself doing many stressful things, take a long break. Tension headaches can be painful, and relaxing will help them.

The weather also may also be the cause of a headache. When fronts pass through, the air pressure usually gets higher, and therefore your head begins to hurt. If you suspect this is the cause of your headache, usually your head will begin to feel better immediately after the front passes through. Until then, it helps to drink coffee with Dark Chocolate. I don't know why that helps, but for me, it always seems to do the trick.

If you think you have a sinus headache, go see your doctor. There are some medicines with minimal side effects that can get rid of your headaches in as little as two hours. Coffee and chocolate can help here too, depending on the type of headache.

Hope this helps!
