What causes headaches, and what do you do to get rid of them?

Headaches are caused from constant annoyances, allergies, sickness, and loud noises. Those are just few of the many reasons. Usually when I have a headache I take a nap or just lay down in the quiet. Advil works great for headaches.

Are you getting daily, vigorous exercise - enough to work up a good sweat? That is the first place I'd start. Assuming that, are you eating properly? (cutting out sugar, chemicals, etc...) Allergies can cause severe headaches. Are you enjoying life? Do you make an effort to have at least one or two good friends? \n\nIf all of that is in order, maybe you should look into acupuncture. It has worked miracles for many, many people (although it doesn't work at all for some). I love having acupuncture! I have it once a week for general health purposes and it relaxes me and alleviates whatever pain I might be feeling. (but I'm also doing all the other stuff I listed)\n\nGood luck.

If you were a drinker before, and have stopped drinking, the headaches could be a side-effect of your body trying to flush out all the toxins caused by drinking.  when this occurs, your body will become dehydrated. start dinking more water.  Drink an 8 oz bottle of water every morning first thing.

See a neurologist.\n\nThey can prescribe meds to PREVENT headaches, and to stop them once they start.\n\nYou have to find out what is causing your headaches. Migraine? Tension? Cluster headaches? Sinuses?\n\nRight now, take either a hot rag, or one you have chilled in the freezer, and put it over the part of your head that hurts.\n\nTry to relax. Quiet. Dark...

pressure building up in your head usually caused from dehydration, caffiene, sinuses (allergies), side effects of medications, or stress.\n\nHeadaches have a wide variety of causes, ranging from eyestrain, sinusitis and tension to life-threatening conditions such as encephalitis, meningitis, cerebral aneurysms and brain tumors. When the headache occurs in conjunction with a head injury the cause is usually quite evident; however, many causes are more unclear. The most common type of headache is a tension headache. Some experience headaches when dehydrated; caffeine withdrawal is another common cause

I get headaches all the time. I try not to take my prescription drug if i can avoid it. I don't know how old you are so I don't want to promote drinking coffee but what I do is drink a small cup of regular coffee with cream and a couple sugars eat a small meal and take three ibuprofen. Slow deep breathing exercises help too. It helps relax your neck muscles, face and jaw. The caffeine in the coffee helps the blood vessels in your head open up if they are constricted. It works for me because i don't drink anything with caffeine in it. But if you do drink a lot of caffeine it can cause a headache. If you can keep a headache diary it can help you to distinguish from what types you are getting and what kinds of treatments can help. If i have a headache on the right side of my head I know it isn't a migraine. Sometimes ice works sometimes a heat pack on the back of my neck works. If i sleep too little, or skip a meal i will get a headache. Once you start to monitor you headaches you can possibly avoid getting them all together and when you do get one you will eventually know which treatment work for each one. Try some of the things i do and see if they help.

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.

Once you have it, advil or aspirin works well. An ice bag or hot pad on the forehead sometimes helps, or if it's tension-related, a neck or head massage can really decrease the pain. Drinking coffee or a caffeine soda will also get rid of headaches for many people--those who have taken in less than their normal dose of caffeine.\nFor me, and many people I know, headaches are virtually eliminated if caffeine is avoided. Once I realized that my weekend headaches were caused by drinking less coffee on weekends, I stopped drinking coffee and have no more than one headache a year.

First get off the computer, it hurts your eyes and give you a worse headache. Put a warm washcloth on your forehead, and try to fall asleep. Take a Tylenol or and Excedrine. I usually take a warm to hot bath when I have a headache. It usually helps. I hope you get well soon. Good Luck! If you have any questions, answer one of my questions.

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.

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!

Like i just read in one of the answers ur headaches can be caused by high blood pressure,but running off to the emergency room will not be the best solution to ur problem.\n  On ur next visit to ur doctor u need to tell him of ur headaches,and he will give u the best advice most people can give around.

There may be no ways to prevent migraine headaches because the exact source of them is not known. But if there are certain foods that trigger them, stay away from these foods. avoid oversleeping, also birth control pills have been known to cause migraines in women. you just have to figure out the triggers of the migraine and stay clear of them. Also relaxation techniques help people minimize the number of headaches. There are many drugs to aid in the prevention of migraines.
