Caffeine is a migraine's best friend. One jolt of caffeine and a migraine can last for hours. It won't do much for the sufferer.

If Advil, Tylenol Excedrin hasn't worked. Have you eaten any protein today that might be it. If it's hot try a cool rag or pack of ice on your neck. or a ice pack on your forehead. I get migraines quite allot, I forget about food so I eat a tbsp of peanut-butter, drink a cup of coffee, then I take two Advil, if it doesn't work I take two Excedrin migraine, if it is still persistent ice packs on my neck and forehead really work. Rub your eye brows down real hard and if you have someone around with strong hands pressure to the base of your skull is a dream. Hurst at first but it does help. Eventually a combination of the above will work. I also read Lavender, rose, and Mandarin oils work really well as a aromatherapy.  Lavender I have tried it helps but I didn't want to wait so I popped the pills. I like immediate pain relief when it comes to my headaches. I wish you well.

do you drink enough water? this is crucial...if you dont drink enough water, your in trouble. you can work out all day, but if you dont have the proper fluids to wash out the waste, it will sit in blockage. your lymph system is one place that gets rid of waste, water helps to clean the body out more easily. \n\nIf your working out and drinkign water but then your drinking coffee and soda...your just fooling your self. if you must have something with a kick...drink tea instead...Green tea. And drink it hot! in fact drinking hot green tea before a workout..like 32oz, will warm your body up..lubricate your stystem to kick some butt!\n\ndon't worry about the caffeine factor...5 cups of green tea are the same as one cup of coffee, so your in no danger of the same thing happening that coffee does\n\nI bet it's water, we drink so much of everything else and then we think just cause we drink water all day and then a little coffee or soda..its okay...well its not.\n\nyou can check your Masseter muscles too..those muscles that clinch when you chew;\ntake your thumb and put it in your mouth so that it touches this muscle, your index finger is outside your mouth onthe same muscle...now massage it buy squeezing and rubbing in a clockwise motion...you might feel the pain shoot to your eye and such. if so, then just squeeze the muscle for 30-60 seconds and let go, rub, this will help too.\n\nthese are factors in headaches, also gum chewing, clinching teeth and massive talking on phone..salesperson or such. stress stress stress!

throbbing headache caused by vasodilated (expanded) blood vessels can be best treated by caffeine, something which is very common in coffee. this is also used to treat migraine patients and there is something called as sumatriptan whic also does the same thing which coffeine does. but since the accuracy of your questions cannot be made its best of you would visit a doctor and see what he has to say.

rub your temples with some peppermint oil...it helps a lot. or check out the aromatherpy line from bath and body works, they have some stuff for headaches that works great!

You can try turning off the lights, if it is possible.  Often the major culprit of headaches is light.  Also try massaging your temples, starting lightly and gradually applying more pressure.  Drink a lot of water.  Don't drink anything with caffeine or sugar, as they can make a headache much worse.

I had that problem once and it was my caffine intake. I was drinking so much soda that it made me tired in that way. Not sure what your habits are but try drinking water. Its incredible how great it makes you feel if you drink enough. Try water for a week or so.

My easiest and quickest help is to lie down with a cold, wet cloth over the eyes and forehead.  I swear it seems to draw the headache right out.  Soothing and it doesn't require introducing any chemicals to your system.\n\nI do agree if you are having persistent and difficult headaches, the first stop should be at your doctor's office.

It's called being addicted to caffine. Without it, your body is all imbalanced and thinks it doesent have the energy to do what you need to. Wean yourself off slowly but surely.

If you are trying to stop drinking soda, first, congratulations as you are making an excellent decision for your immediate and future health and well-being. \n\nYou are, of course,  experiencing withdrawl symptoms. The headaches are quite common ( and can be bad),  when one also attempts to stop drinking coffee. If they are really bad, you might try weaning yourself off the sodas over 2-3 weeks--cutting the amount by 1/2 or so, although sometimes, it's best to "gut it out"--you must decide what is best for yourself. \n\nYou can also be experiencing withdrawal from the sugar within the sodas--this amount can often be up to, or more than, 10 teaspoons of sugar per can/bottle.\n\nTo help with this, eat small, high protein (chicken, fish, turkey, etc.) meals 4-5 times per day. Include low starch veggies (lots of greens), low glycemic fruits--berries, kiwi, grapefruit, nuts and seeds and drink plenty of water.\n\nIf you must have caffeine in your life, it may be easier for you to switch to a high quality Green Tea. This is available at a good health food store and has many healthy benefits. It is also available in a decaffeinated form.\n\nAvoid: sugar, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, artifical sweetners, white flour products, processed foods. EAT REAL FOOD.\n\nExercise. FInd something you enjoy.\n\nIn general, you'll be much better off, once you kick the caffeine/sugar addiction--and that's just what it is, a physiological addiction. Withdrawal is not always easy; hang tough and it will pass. Your pancreas, liver, adrenal glands, thyroid and heart, and virtually every other organ and system in your body  will thank you and you'll go long way in preventing future degenerative diseases. (i.e. heart disease, diabetes, hypoglycemia, cancers, arthritis, eye problems, memory problems, the list can go on and on.).\n\nBeen there, done that, it works.\n\nGood Luck!

They'll go away after three days and then never come back. You could try switching to Green Tea instead of going cold turkey. The antioxidants and nutrients will prepare you slowly for an easy break from caffeine. You can do it!! Drink lots of water, too. Ice cold water, sipped slowly. Add a lemon to treat yourself upper crustily.  Best wishes. I did it!

Drink plenty of water to rehydrate your body.Also taking a couple of aspirin may help the headache.Sleeping a little more can help you get over the groggy feeling.I use to drink, 6 years ago I quit cold turkey.I use to have to do what I have mentioned.

Find out what is causing them and treat that rather than the headache itself and it will go away more quickly.  Like stress, light, sinus/allergy, ect.\n\nI get headaches frequently and finally figured out that I have to treat each headache as a separate issue, because they can be caused by many things.\n\nI used to get headaches in grade/high school and finally figured out that I'm sensitive to florescent lights and sitting by a window so the natural light could diffuse the florescent light made a big difference.\n\nNow days the make several different types of painkillers, such as tension, sinus/allergy, migraine...

Try the ice cream cure! Eat ice cream as fast as you can until it gives you brain freeze and when the brain freeze goes away after a couple seconds it will take the headache with it.... I hear it works for alot of ppl
