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.

First be aware of were you are getting it from. Not only is it in coffee, some teas and sodas but often in aspirin and supplements too. me I went cold turkey. I had a really bad headache and was grouch for a week after that you should be OK.

You should first check your eyes, if your sight is bad it can lead into constant headaches; especially at the end of the day.  \nYou should also try to identify if it's only a headache or possibly a migraine-they are usually accompanied by sensitivity to light, sound, smell; nausea, or diziness-. Some migraines are triggered by stress, but some food, like chocolate, spices, orange juice, or dairy, can also cause them.  \nYou should check with your doctor to find out if you need exams, maybe a cat scan.  Hope it helps

When you have a headache like that, try standing under the shower in the hottest water you can stand. Let it run on the back of your neck. And about 6 advil if your stomach can take it.

There isn't much you can do but ride the waves and wait till it passes.  You are having very normal symptoms of pregnancy.  I also had real bad morning sickness when I was pregnant with my daughter and my doctor told me that as long as I got 1 prenatal vitamin down my throat a day, it really didn't cause concern if I didn't eat anything!  But keep in mind that sometimes those vitamins will cause you to be nauseated on an empty stomach.  So what I did was cut my vitamin into 4 parts....I would take the first little piece in the morning with a few crackers....the second piece with a few crackers and so on... If I threw it up, then I knew at least I tried.  Sometimes you can't help it.  Something that helped me also was sucking on a slice of real lemon for nausea.  Your doctor CAN prescribe you phenergan too for nausea...it is totally safe to take during pregnancy.  But keep in mind that phenergan can also cause drowsiness too.  The tiredness...all you can do for that is get as much rest as possible.  Try to get some help with your little girl so that you can rest.  Good luck!

There are different types of symptoms and not everyone's symptoms are the same.  Some are related to hormones and some are triggered by certain foods.  It's really best to talk to your doctor about what is happening when you get these headaches.  Keep a log for a few of them so you have something to bring to your doctor.  Mine were hormone related and family history.  I know how I took care of mine, but it's not the answer for everyone.

The best person to help you is your Doctor. No-ones advice should replace his.\n\nIt sounds like theres a chance your really bad headaches could be migraines which come in any forms.\nA Doctor can prescribe medications if necessary to help with the management of migraines,\n\nI find ibuprofen for Migraines works really well , and another home remedy is straight black coffee 3 sugars.\n\nGood luck and instead of worrying see your doctor and let him tell you the answers.

Hi Niftynan\n\nHere are some answers and ideas on how to heal your condition.\n\nCause \nThis is often the result of a disturbance in some other part of the body, such as digestive disorders in the stomach, liver or bowel; problems in the abdominal area; menstrual irregularities, impingements in the cervical; concussion, eye strain, nervous excitement, fatigue, etc. The headache is a mechanism which signals some serious problem elsewhere. The common headache is due to faulty elimination, and the waste matter causes problems until the toxic wastes reach the stomach nerves and affects them (colon cleanse is needed). Sometimes headaches are caused from panic, fear, or worrying about the unknown. Headaches of this type are the hardest to relieve, generally requiring something strong like a heavy nervine tea with lobelia in it to diminish the nervous excitement. A nerve tea such as valerian or skullcap with a few drops of tincture of lobelia to a cup will give relief. \n\nFood allergies are another very common cause of headache. The worst culprit is sugar; I have experienced sugar headaches, which are sort of a withdrawal; you eat the sugar, and then as the body is trying to eliminate the toxic substance, your head pounds. Cheese commonly causes headaches, probably the worst of the dairy products for this, although allergies to any of them may cause the pain. Meats and eggs are also common allergens. \n\nHerbal Aids \n1.General Instructions: Improve elimination with the Lower Bowel Formula #1 (use the cathartics and enemas only in case of emergency). If the problem is in the stomach area, use any of the following stomach herbs: angelica, balmony, black alder, elecampane, gentian root, raspberry leaves, rhubarb, strawberry leaves, wild cherry, wormwood. Use ginger for a menstrual problem. To relieve the local headache pain, two or three drops of tincture of lobelia in a little water three times a day or up to every hour if required will often give temporary relief. If the contents of the stomach causes the problem, empty that area with an emetic. Where the nerves are raw, the following herbs are excellent: catnip, peppermint (hot), rosemary herb, skullcap, spearmint, wood betony, and since plenty of rest is needed, any of the foregoing herbs along with hops tea is very soothing and will produce sleep. \n\n2.Migraine Headache: See formula using wormwood, Culver's root and cayenne. \n\n3.Relaxing Nervine (headache, neck, shoulder and muscular tension, irritability, nervousness or raw nerves, sleeplessness, female organs) \n\n4.Nervous Headache: Chew 1-2 freshly-picked leaves of rue. \n\n5.Headache: Apply the freshly-bruised leaves of rue to the temples. \n\n6.Nervous Headache: See formula using lady's slipper, catnip and scullcap. \n\n7.Nervous Headache: See formula using wood betony, rosemary and peppermint. \n\n8.Insomnia, Headache, Indigestion, Bronchitis, etc. Give black cohosh infusion in small doses. \n\n9.Peppermint Tea: Drink a cupful of hot peppermint tea; then lie down and relax. \n\nOil of Peppermint: Apply externally on the affected area for rheumatism, neuralgia, and headache. \n\n10.Stress Headache: My favorite headache/stress remedy is blending a banana into a cup of pineapple juice, adding a bit of nutmilk, and mixing in one to two tablespoons of brewer's yeast, blending briefly. In fifteen minutes I am calm and ready to deal with the problems that cause the stress. \n\n11.Constipation Headache: Headaches can stem from several sources. Very common is the constipation headache, where compressed fecal matter presses on the nerves that affect the head. We have seen severe migraine headaches cured by taking a catnip enema. For longer-term relief, the lower bowel formula can heal the bowel so that there is no constipation. \n\n12.Severe Migraine: For a really severe migraine headache, apply cold packs to the neck and head while the patient soaks in a very hot tub or whirlpool. Be sure to drink lots of feverfew t

You shouldn't get all worked up about it right now.  The Doctors are just looking for what is causing your headaches. There is no guarantee you will be diagnosed with either.  There is a lot of minor things that can cause your symptoms too. So try to stay calm!! I know that is easy for me to say, but no matter what happens you can get through it.  Don't worry about the CT scan either.  I'm studying to be a Rad Tech and the scan is really simple.

Yes, talk to your doctor.  Perhaps it is connected to your medication, and only your doctor can advise you there.\n\nThe only time I suffered with headaches was when I took vitamin A or E tablets daily (separately).  It felt like I had overloaded the back of my head.  So now I don't take vitamin tablets and just make sure to treat myself to a balanced diet.  Although I know that there are some ailments that are treated with vitamins.  \n\nI think that the sooner you speak to your doctor the better

You don't want to go overboard - but some caffeine is allowed.  My pregnant cousin's doctor told her to drink cola or other drinks with caffeine to try and help get rid of headaches.

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
