Take a deep breath. Hold it for a few seconds and do it all over again. (10 times). You'll feel better afterwards.\n\nNo kidding.\n:-)\n\nP.S. Tell me if it worked. Thanx.

Before let me to tell you I'm sharing your same discomfort with headache.\nYou should really go to your doctor and stress out that your problem is loweing your life quality as I seem from your words. He has to prescribe you a drug for the pain relief.\nI don't know what kind of headache you are suffering of but as I know if you suffer of migraine you can discuss with your doctor about the opportunity to take Triptans, such as sumatriptan, zolmitriptan (these drugs help to prevent migraine attacks). During acute attacks you can take a drug that belongs to NSAID like ibuprofen.\n\nMeanwhile there are simple steps you can take to prevent headache.\n\nDont' miss a meal, don't drink much coffee and alcool, don't eat much of preserved meats and foods containing monosodium glutamate (low fat and no fat milk products often include milk solids that contain MSG as drinks, candy, and chewing gum) \n\nMoreover it's important to stay away from stress and to sleep enough. Important is also to keep a correct posture especially for neck pain and to do regular exercises\n\n\nRegardin both headache and neck pain, you can try massage too; someone gets benefit from this\n\nHope this help\n\nCris

heating pad and a wet towel has worked for me.  You can't get rid of all the pain but you can lessen it to a more liveable level.

Take a break for every 2hours ..let your mind relax and then start over. Relaxation could be like listening to soothing music, drink some water, take a small walk. The idea is that no one can read at a stretch, so read in intervals and reduce the heat by relaxing the mind..hope this helps

Hi, for me is dairy, and citrics.  Also, too much exposure to the sun.  I try to avoid any of these in excess, and if I still get a migrane, I drift to my room, cool it a little, close the drapes and take a "Maxalt".  I get better about 4 or 5 hours later, if I get some sleep.

take an aspirin..and drink plenty of water..not sure what the chemistry is behind it but i guess its cooling and so..helps! looking at the computer screen also contributes to headaches..as it puts a lot of strain on the eyes. i'd say..get some rest!

It depends on the weather and where you live. If you live in a farm area, you should always have extra canned goods on hand in case anything happens, like a snowstorm or your car breaking down. Always keep things on hand that can be opened & eaten without heating. Keep canned milk on hand, so that you have a ready meal with a box of cereal. If your electric goes out, make sure you have flashlights, kerosene lamps and safe candles. If your heat depends on the electric, don't open the door. Put more clothes on and cover up with blankets or comforters. Ususally the electric will be back up within a few hours, but be prepared for a couple of days if you're in a snowstorm. If possible, find someone who heats with wood and bunk with them until the electric is back up. Always have a well stocked medicine cabinet, in case you have a sudden illness or accident. Things to have would be bandaids, cotton balls, cotton swabs, burn cream, antibiotic cream, hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, an ace bandage, gauze, first aid tape, apspirin, non-aspirin pain reliever (Tylenol or Ibubrophen), allergy medications--including inhaler, bee sting kit--bees do come alive during the winter too, Epsom salts--for soaking strained muscles & such, Vicks vapo rub, Pepto Bismol, and other things that relate to your particular health & needs. The average home should have the above items anyway, because you never know when you might need them. If you have frostbite, or even think you have it, never rub your skin, and don't rub it with snow. Don't put it in hot water. You want to gently warm the skin, so you don't damage the tissues. Put the skin in cool water, gradually warming it every few minutes. I don't know if these are the top survival tips, but I believe these are things everyone should know. It's good to get some first aid training so that you'll be equipped to be of some use if you or someone you know needs help. There's nothing worse than watching someone you care about struggle, and you can only stand and watch, knowing you could hurt them worse with what you don't know. It's good that you want to know what to do. Take a course at your local hospital or tech school. Just remember, even with all that knowledge, you're not God. There's only so much you can do. The rest is up to Him. <*)))><

RandyGE has a good answer, I would add, take a neutral bath ( 98-100 degrees F. soak in it for about 30 min. and relax while you soak, this is also helpful for a stress headache. When you pray and give your troubles to God, LEAVE THEN WITH HIM, otherwise He can do nothing with them. It is just like you and a friend are standing around, and you have an apple, you say to your friend 'here take this apple and eat it', and you friend says 'OK' and reaches for the apple, but you do not let go of it, so your friend starves to death because they could not eat the apple that you would not let go of. Do you see? Release you troubles to God. I do and it stopped me from getting ulcers, (again).

Learn to manage your stress and your nerves will take care of themselves...\nstress relief pointers\nthink really seriously about and talk with others, to identify the causes of the stress and take steps to remove, reduce them or remove yourself (the stressed person) from the situation that causes the stress. \nUnderstand the type(s) of stressors affecting you (or the stressed person), and the contributors to the stress susceptibility - knowing what you're dealing with is essential to developing the stress management approach. \nimprove diet - group B vitamins and magnesium are important, but potentially so are all the other vitamins and minerals: a balanced healthy diet is essential. Assess the current diet and identify where improvements should be made and commit to those improvements. \nreduce toxin intake - obviously tobacco, alcohol especially - they might seem to provide temporary relief but they are working against the balance of the body and contributing to stress susceptibility, and therefore increasing stress itself. \ntake more exercise - generally, and at times when feeling very stressed - exercise burns up adrenaline and produces helpful chemicals and positive feelings. \nstressed people must try to be detached, step back, look from the outside at the issues that cause the stress. \ndon't try to control things that are uncontrollable - instead adjust response, adapt. \nshare worries - talk to someone else - off-load, loneliness is a big ally of stress, so sharing the burden is essential. \nincrease self-awareness of personal moods and feelings - anticipate and take steps to avoid stress build-up before it becomes more serious. \nexplore and use relaxation methods - they do work if given a chance - yoga, meditation, self-hypnosis, massage, a breath of fresh air, anything that works and can be done in the particular situation.

I would use a heating pad and massage. You can avoid this by warming up before stretching or exercising. Drink a lot of water.
