Headaches can be caused by a number of factors. If they continue without relief, you may need to visit your doctor.

One factor might be if you just recently started getting headaches. Look at any changes in your life. Diet may be a cause--lunchmeats and hotdogs with nitrates, artificial sweeteners in diet drinks (Aspartame gets me) and any food Allergies. If you are burning scented candles, try stopping that for a period of time.

If you are stressed at work or in life, you may become headache prone. Make sure to stretch your upper back muscles periodically as well as to adjust your chair so that you are sitting properly. Take short walks during breaks. We just are not made to be tensed up all of the time.

Florescent lighting, long hours at the computer and, for me, indirect lighting can also trigger headaches.

If you have weather systems coming and going constantly, sometimes your sinuses get congested. Try taking an antihistamine and acetaminophen combination or a sinus pill to see if that helps.

I recently read about a fix that works for some headaches. Place your feet in warm water and put ice on your head. This causes your circulation to improve quickly and that may ease the headache.
