How do you stop headache?
If you want to stop a headache that seems worse than normal, take liquid medicine. Next, get into a room with no sunlight. (Sunlight bothers my headaches!) But before you lay down, make sure the room is silent and steady. Get a cold wet washrag or a icey fresh glass of water. Lay down, try to sleep, keep the rag on your forehead, drink your water, and that should solve it within 30 min. Try it! At least it always works on me! ^^

How can you get a headache to go away without taking any pills?
Depending on the headache laying in a dark room with some type of light pressure on the eyes and sinus (ex: your arm draped over your eyes or something similar) and placing an object under the back of your neck to tilt the head slightly back eleviating pressure on the lower back of your head. A neck massager works wonders. Alot of the pressure built up in a headache seems to derive from optical strain and muscle tension in the neck...usually where the lower part of your head meets with your neck. Sometimes caused by bad posture or using a computer/watching tv in the same position for an extensive amount of time. Dehydration and/or lack of nutrition can also cause headaches to occur
