first of all, you need to take continuous breaks from the PC. go for a short walk around the building, eat a short snack, etc.\nhere's some helpful info on headaches, such as symptoms, causes, etc. Hope it helps!\n\nThe most common types of headaches usually are not serious but may occur again and again.\n\n--Tension headaches -- the most common type of headache and are episodes of constant aching, tightness, pressure, and pain around the forehead, temples, or back of the head and neck. Symptoms usually occur on both sides of the head rather than just one side. \nTension headaches usually do not stop a person from doing his or her regular activities. These headaches usually do not cause nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light or noise. A tension headache can last anywhere from 30 minutes to several days. Some people experience chronic tension headaches, which means they get a headache on 15 or more days a month.\nTension headaches are related to muscles tightening in the back of the neck or head because of stress, anxiety, fatigue, hunger, anger, poor posture, or overexertion.\nTreatment for tension headaches usually includes aspirin, ibuprofen, or other nonprescription pain relievers. Aspirin should not be given to anyone age 20 years or younger because it has been linked to Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious disease that most often affects children. Prescription medications, such as antidepressants, may be needed to treat tension headaches. Additional therapies, including stress management or biofeedback, may reduce or prevent tension headaches\n \n--Cluster headaches -- these are recurring headaches that occur in groups or cycles. The headaches appear suddenly and cause severe, debilitating pain on one side of the head, along with a watery eye and nasal congestion on the affected side of the head. The cause of cluster headaches is unknown. Although there is no cure for cluster headaches, medications can reduce the frequency and duration of the painful headaches.\n--Migraine headaches -- Approximately one-third of people who have migraine headaches first began having them as teenagers. are painful, sometimes disabling headaches that are often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light, noise, and smell. These throbbing headaches usually occur on only one side of the head, although the pain can shift from one side of the head to the other, or can occur on both sides at the same time. Migraines involve changes in chemicals and blood vessels in the brain, which trigger pain signals leading to headache and other symptoms.\nMigraine headaches tend to recur. A migraine headache typically lasts 4 to 24 hours but in some cases can last up to 3 days. Some people have symptoms, such as visual disturbances, that occur before a headache starts. These symptoms are called a migraine aura.\nSome people have several headaches per month; others have headaches much less often. Treatment usually includes medications to prevent a migraine from occurring or to stop a migraine once it begins. In some people, migraines may be triggered by certain foods or smells. Eliminating exposure to these triggers may stop the headaches.\n\nHere's a list of common causes of headaches include:\n\n--Alcohol, caffeine, or other drug use or withdrawal. \n--Changes in the levels of chemicals in the body (neurotransmitters). \n--Coughing or sneezing. \n--Dehydration. \n--Dental problems or procedures, such as pain from grinding the teeth or from a root canal. \n--Eating or drinking cold foods and fluids. \n--Emotional stress. \n--Exposure to smoke or fumes from chemicals, including carbon monoxide. \n--Eyestrain. \n--Fever. \n--High altitude. Lower oxygen levels at high altitudes can cause headaches. \n--Medical procedures, such as the aftereffects of a lumbar puncture (spinal tap). \n--Medications. Many medications can cause headaches. \n--Muscle strain in the neck, upper back, or shoulder muscles. \n--Upper respiratory infections. \n

smoking, stimulants (caffine), and lots of sugar can cause headaches.  Drinking alot of water and exercise regularly can help your body get rid of those extra toxins.\n\nIf it is really serious GOTO A DOCTOR.  if its not, try exercising and eating healthier

It could be a cluster headache. They tend to center themselves on the top of the skull, and they are FAR more painful than a tension headache (usually men get these, but women can). If the pain continues, you ought to see a doctor. Cluster headaches can be caused by anything from stress to carbon monoxide poisoning, so it's best to get checked out.

Stay away from stressful situations.  Don't watch TC in the dark or stay up too late.  Sleep is important.\n\nIt sounds like you may be getting migrains and you may need to seek mediacal attention.  What you should do in the mean time is STAY in the dark, with a cool face cloth.  \n\nEat a well balanced diet, eat things in moderation, and include exercise in your daily routine.\n\nI am a previous sufferer of headaches.  Good luck!

I used to get bad headaches that would start at the base of the neck and wrap right up around to my eye area.  Come to find out it was due to a disc out of alignment.  Sometimes heat or ice would help for a while.  Also one of those neck-alignment pillows while sleeping.  The best thing for me was to go to my doctor who would do some chiropractic manupilation and it would be gone!   I hope you feel better soon.

Try some paracetamol.\nMint essential oils massaged into the temples.\nMassage to temples, base of skull, and gently above the eyes and on the cheeks.\nMake sure you're not dehydrated (drink some water)\nIf this has been going on for days...see your family doctor, for a check-up.\nOsteopathy and Indian Head Massages work wonders for chronic headaches with me.

Dear, please, please go to your doctor to rule out any type of brain tumours, etc.  Also, have your eyes examined.  Have your doctor check for TMJ. You could be suffering from migraines also.  See a doctor.  There is help and hope.  Believe me, it is no way to live...in pain every day.  See a doctor. See a doctor.  See a doctor!  Good luck.

Have you taken anything for the pain (Advil or Tylenol)?  It sounds like a headache.  I've gotten them in the temple before.  Could be caused by stress.  Try taking a pain reliever and lay down and rest for a couple hours.\n\nAs I would say with anyone who complains about pain, call a doctor if it doesn't get any better.  But don't fret.  It's probably just a headache.  Hope you feel better soon.

I agree with going to see a neurologist. You could be suffering from severe migraines which can cause everything you described. Even more rare is a condition known as "cluster headaches". Cluster headaches can be incapacitating anywhere from 4 hours to 4 months. Check out WebMd.com for more info on them. \n\nDo you where corrective lenses? Could be as simple as eye strain from a bad prescription. Wouldn't hurt to see an eye doctor as well.\n\nAs for your immediate pain, try to sleep on you side or your back with a supportive pillow. Don't use the memory foam type as they do not recover fast enough to support your head, neck and shoulders. Put a pillow between your legs if you sleep on your side. It helps to align the spine and give you more support. Try ice packs and heat packs. Alternate icing for 20 mins and then heat, then ice again. \n\nYou can also try some light isotonic stretching exercises for your arms, back and neck right before bed to help relax the muscles.\n\nI'm sorry you feel rotten. I hope you feel better soon. I also hope that a good doc will take the time to listen to you.

Yes, it could be a sign of an attack.  My head started hurting like yours is for about 5 months.  Then my balance and coordination went to hell in a hand basket!  And the vertigo!!!  It sucks!  I'd go to the neuro and ask for some Prednisone.
