What things can be done to ease a headache?

The best thing i have found is washing the head with HOT water. It eases a tension headache by relaxing the muscles and a migraine by dilating the blood vessels. Also, drinking a lot of cold water will help. Pills such as Tylenol, Ibuprofen, and Advil are what some call "sugar pills", though they do ease some pain, water does all the real stuff. Another way to ease a headache (but temporarily unless done properly) is finding pressure points. There are two that are known to work best: The thumb joint on the left hand, and the back of the neck. The thumb joint's pressure point is right on the skin that looks a bit like webbing on the upper half of your hand. The neck's pressure points are just under the skull at the top of your neck on the softest spots.

Thumb Joint: Simply squeeze the pressure point for about 2 minutes, and slowly release the pressure. Your headache should almost instantly go away. Neck: (you may need someone to do this with you) have a scarf or bandanna (or something that wraps around something) and this will need to be snug against your forehead and tied/held in the back. Have a friend hold it for you. Then have your friend gently begin to push their thumbs onto the soft pressure points, then stay that way for about 30 to 50 seconds. The headache should slowly go away.

Should you eat cold stuff when you have a sore throat?

What could cause numbness on the right side of the head going into your neck when you lie on your left side?

Subluxation could be the cause. It is very important that you visit a Chiropractor to assess the problem. You can get x-rays and a detailed physical of your nervous system, spine, and overall health. A subluxation is when your spine is misaligned which causes either pinched nerves, damaged nerves, damaged discs, etc. Your nerves are like the life line to your organs. If it is pinched or not allowed to function 100%, then it is like pinching a water hose. Everyone can benefit from Chiropractic, especially you at this time.

Why does fever cause headaches?

Not just your forehead. Your entire body temperature goes up when you have a fever, but people traditionally use a hand against the forehead to tell if someone is running hot.

What can you take for headaches while taking Coumadin?

Don't take Tylenol for more than a day or so! I have migraines and took a Tylenol containing migraine medication for several days in a row while I was on Coumadin. At the end of that time, my pro level was 6! Yikes! Afterwards, I read that it is not a well publicised fact that Tylenol (acimetaphene) has this effect taken with Coumadin. Ask your medical provider or blood management nurse what you can take.

Over-fatigue causes head-pressure and ringing in the ears. Also a sinus infection and sometimes the start of the flu or a bad cold.

Migraines can also do this so if it last for more than a few days it's best to see your doctor.

Why do you blackout?

Not everyone blacks out in a violent rage. It is something that has probably been with us since childhood. There is a difference between not being able to control yourself and actually having no memory of the events. Childhood trauma may have been so severe that blocking certain violent events from memory was the brain trying to protect us. If you are one of these people, as I am, take heart. You can rewire your brain to not respond in this manner. Carla
