You feel a headache coming on, so you reach for a pain reliever. Or maybe you take pain medication in advance — even every day — to stave off frequent headaches. After all, that's what pain relievers are for, right?\n\nThink again.\n\nPain relievers offer quick relief for occasional headaches. But there's a limit. If you find yourself taking pain medication more than two or three days a week, you may actually be contributing to your headaches rather than easing them. It's a cycle known as rebound headaches.\n\nThe cycle starts when you take too much headache medication — more than the label instructs or your doctor prescribes. Soon, your body adapts to the medication. You may not even realize that you've been dosing yourself too often until you miss a day and your head starts to hurt again — sometimes more intensely than before.\n\nThe only way to stop rebound headaches is to reduce or stop taking the pain medication that's causing them. It's tough, but your doctor can help.\n\n\nNEXT: Signs and symptoms  ARTICLE TOOLS \n Print this section | All sections \n Larger type \n \n\n    more information     Rebound headaches — also called medication overuse headaches — tend to occur every day, sometimes waking you in the early morning and continuing throughout the day. The pain may be most severe at first, when the medication begins to wear off.\n\nSometimes, a rebound headache causes dull, achy pain. In other cases, the pain may be throbbing or pounding.\n\nYou may notice other signs and symptoms as well, including:\n\nNausea \nAnxiety \nRestlessness, irritability and difficulty concentrating \nMemory problems \nDepression Nearly any pain reliever can contribute to rebound headaches. But some medications are more likely to lead to rebound headaches than are others.\n\nSimple pain relievers. Common medications such as aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) may contribute to rebound headaches — especially if you exceed the recommended daily dosages. \nCombination pain relievers. Over-the-counter pain relievers that contain a combination of caffeine, aspirin and acetaminophen (Excedrin, others) are common culprits. This group also includes prescription medications such as Fioricet, Fiorinal and Esgic, which also contain the sedative butalbital. \nMigraine medications. Various migraine medications have been linked with rebound headaches, including ergotamine (Ergomar, others) and triptans (Imitrex, Zomig, others). Interestingly, the ergot dihydroergotamine appears to have a lower potential for leading to this problem. \nOpiates. Painkillers derived from opium or from synthetic opium compounds include combinations of codeine and acetaminophen (Tylenol with Codeine No. 3 and No. 4, others). These can lead to rebound headaches as well. \nDaily doses of caffeine — from your morning coffee, your afternoon soda, or any pain reliever or other product containing this mild stimulant — may fuel rebound headaches as well. Read product labels to make sure you're not wiring your system with more caffeine than you realize.\n\nTrouble sleeping Anyone who has a history of migraine headaches, tension-type headaches or other chronic headaches is at risk of developing rebound headaches from the overuse of pain relievers.\n\nRebound headaches aren't typically an issue for people who use pain medications on a daily basis to treat conditions such as arthritis\nTreatment\nTo break the cycle of rebound headaches, you'll need to restrict how much pain medication you use. Depending on what drug you've been taking, your doctor may recommend stopping the medication right away or gradually reducing the dose until you're taking the drug no more than twice a week.\n\nStopping pain medication isn't easy. Expect your headaches to get worse before they get better. You also may experience withdrawal symptoms such as nervousness, restlessness, nausea, vomiting, insom

I was having them daily for a while about a year ago. At first I had no idea what was going on I thought I was going blind or something. The worst part about it is how fatigued you feel. It also causes serious issues with driving when you frequently have ocular migraines. I talked to an optometrist and found out extended amounts of physical activity can trigger an ocular migraine. I have since toned down my work out and haven't had an ocular migraine since.

Tension Headaches- Tension headaches are caused by muscular strains in the head and neck and/or emotional stress.\nEye strain (poor vision) can trigger frequent tension headaches.\n\nHeadaches can be caused by too much blood flow.

Well a headache can only be caused by so many things. The first guess would be water. If you're dehydrated, that can cause headaches. Ironically caffeine can be a surefire headache relief, but dehydrates the body. Funny isn't it? Just check the back of a bottle of excedrin and find mr. caffeine included.\n\nSo yeah, drink a ton of water, wait a little bit, if that fails, then have a cup of coffee or something and continue drinking water to keep hydrated.

Depends on what's causing the headache.  Try massage, meditation (including running, tai chi, meditation, yoga, or anything that requires your attention but not your intense concentration) sleep or food (avoide caffeine because it constricts the blood vessels and make it so you can't sleep).  If that doesn't work, the cause may be biochemical... see your doc.

a lot of things can cause headaches. headaches can be either emotionally caused or physically caused. stress/ tension headaches are rather common. the muscles tighten in the back of the neck in the sub-occipital area of your skull. when they tighten, blood flow becomes limited and the headache starts to come on. either emotional or physical headaches should be treated by simple neck stretches and by adding heat for 15 minutes.

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!

Have you been on the computer for a long while?... I use to get MASSIVE headaches and I found out it was because I was looking at a computer screen for too long. Try looking away and focus on something across the room ever 15 minutes or so.

The best thing to do is to determine the cause of the headache/migraine. As someone pointed out, dehydration can cause severe headaches. So can certain diseases, such as endometriosis, tumors, lupus, etc. It would be good to see a doctor to eliminate the more serious possibilities, and to make sure that your diet and exercise are healthy so that you don't have to over medicate yourself. There are also good homeopathic migraine treatments available in health stores.

I just learned this in class, so I'm going to give you a VERY complete answer :)\n\nThere are different types of headaches (believe it or not), and each type of headache is caused by different things.\n\nMigraines are caused by hormonal changes (ie: estrogen), stress, changes in sleep habits (this alters your serotonin levels), alcohol, narcotics, glaring/flickering lights, and certain foods like aged cheese, red wine, and MSG.\n\nTension headaches can be caused by muscle spasm on your neck, shoulders, and the back of your head.\n\nSinus headaches are caused by congestion around your sinuses.\n\nRebound headaches are caused by the withdrawal of caffeine.\n\nChronic daily headaches can be due to medication overuse, anxiety, or depression.\n\nCluster headaches are an EMERGENCY!  When your headache is only on one side, and the eye on that same side of your head also is droopy and tearing, and you feel really restless (ie: you find yourself pacing the floor), and you suddenly get the WORST headache of your life, then go to the emergency room IMMEDIATELY, and make sure your doctor sees you within 4 hours.\n\nMost headaches start when something changes your serotonin levels, and causes your blood vessels to narrow in your head.  At this point, there's no pain yet.  Later, your blood vessels will widen and become inflamed.  This is when you start feeling pain.\n\nThere are a number of things you can do to treat headaches and get rid of them:\n\n1) Keep you sleep habits the same everyday (it'll keep your serotonin levels constant)\n2) Avoid MSG, alcohol, aged cheese, red wine\n3) If you're a constant coffee/soda drinker, know that whenever you cut back on your usual amount of caffeine, you'll usually get a headache.\n4) Over-the-counter medications include Excedrine, Motrin (these two drugs decrease the inflammation and stop pain), and Imitrex (this drug decreases the effect of serotonin).\n5) If you go to your doctor, they can prescribe medications to decrease the ability of serotonin to cause inflammation (ie: triptans, tri-cyclic anti-depressants), drugs to make your blood vessels go back to its normal size (ie: beta blockers), calcium channel blockers, and topiramate.  Alot of these drugs also have other uses (ie: for the heart, anxiety, depression, seizures), but they're given at  different doses for different effects.
