it could be a migrane or a headache... but if this is uncommon for you it could be the sign of something more serious

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 used to have that problem and still do occasionally.When you are either j****ng off or having s*x, it causes it a lot of pressure in your brain stem area and the major areas of the back of your head and it can cause serious cramp like pains. I thought the first few times it happened to me that I was going to pass out but didn't...But mainly you are putting a lot of stress on your nerves but even more pressure on your head--Just take it easy for a while: do what you would normally do and maybe take a few Motrin or Tylenol before or after s*x or ej*******on...Hope this helps and good luck...You are not alone!

If you would like to cure headaches naturally, try to take a lime, cut it into half and rub it on your \nforehead. The throbbing will go away.  This worked for me.

I have also had the very same problem, I would talk to your DR. and explain the situation, they are usually very considerate to stuff like that, also try breaking them in half and then even into 3 pieces.\nWean yourself off of them, If you are on 10/350 then you need to be on the 5/500 and if your on the 5/500 then break those in half!\nGood Luck

sounds like a migraine - unless you've had a head injury recently? in which case - go to your local A/E dept and get checked out. if no head injury - see your GP for some special migraine tablets that are stronger than ordinary paracetamol

If it was me, I would say it was my allergies. I get headaches from the pressure and it feels like the headaches are in my eyes.\n\nClaritin

I get that way when I have a migraine headache. Also cluster headaches or tension headaches could be the cause.

Sleeping is the only way I can get rid of my migraines but to ease the pain I've found caffeine sometimes works, pulling on my hair, tying something tight around my head (in a kung-fu-fighting style... I use the belt from a bath robe), putting anything that is very hot or cold on my head... and when all else fails I just bang my head against a wall, I really do!
