Bad headache for a few days?
821697
I have suffered migraines since I was 10 and I am 48.  Try 2 Tylenol and 1 benedryl only if not allergic.  Put a warm compress across the forehead and lay down in a dark area.  After a couple of hours check on her and see if it has subsided.  If she continues to have the headache she needs to go to the hospital.  Headaches don't always happen because of her menstrual cycle.  Stress can cause this.  As far as a tumor don't worry unless a doctor  tells you its a tumor.  Get checked anyway.

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.

Demand a second opinion. Positive note I had similar symptoms for years rarely a day off. I had a brain scan, a EEG and other tests turns out I have hemiplegic migraines - very scary. I have an aura with mine - a bad taste often triggered by what I eat or smell. Gloss paint sends me off my legs for up to 2 weeks. I was investigated for having a stroke! Go back an see your Dr if symptoms don't improve and demand further tests! Have allergy/ sensitivity tests done, mine showed my triggers as being corn, melon, larger etc. I changed my diet and took FEVER FEW natural health supps and have made a fantastic recovery, with the occasional relapse. I f your symptoms are new to you and you have had no further investigations than a DR appointment, go back and demand more. Take a friend or relative with you if your reluctant to push the issue. You only have one life - enjoy it. Luv J xx

It may be a vast change from your norm...and if you are used to coffee or soda (caffiene) that can cause the headaches and most diet programs discourage drinking caffienated drinks.\n\nHang in there a while longer if you can...it may just take your body a few days to adjust...and take some ibuprofen for that headache...

I get really bad migraines too. Normally if I have a migraine I drink tea, place an ice pack on your forehead( lay in the dark where its peacefull), or I learned this when I was younger. First keep your eyes opes and take your pointer and middle finger and massage your temples at the same time for about ten sec.. THen close your eyes and do the same thing. It works a little for more, and if that doesnt work take some advil.

Stay away from stressful situations.  Don't watch TC in the dark or stay up too late.  Sleep is important.\n\nIt sounds like you may be getting migrains and you may need to seek mediacal attention.  What you should do in the mean time is STAY in the dark, with a cool face cloth.  \n\nEat a well balanced diet, eat things in moderation, and include exercise in your daily routine.\n\nI am a previous sufferer of headaches.  Good luck!

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.

a lot of things can cause headaches. headaches can be either emotionally caused or physically caused. stress/ tension headaches are rather common. the muscles tighten in the back of the neck in the sub-occipital area of your skull. when they tighten, blood flow becomes limited and the headache starts to come on. either emotional or physical headaches should be treated by simple neck stretches and by adding heat for 15 minutes.

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

Since you haven't gotten better, I would go back to the doc and possibly get a second opinion.  Go with your gut.  You truly feel something is wrong, it's gotten worse, and it is worrying you.  I assume your "they did seem to be worried" is a typo and you meant "didn't?"  Either way, if you are not comfortable going back to the doctor, maybe go to the ER.  A serious or unrelenting headache is something that needs further attention.  Good luck.  I hope it turns out to be a big nothing.

Can you figure out what triggers your headache?  \nThe suggestions listed here are all good.  I have tried many of them depending on what caused my headache.  Tension, dehydration, missed meal, hormones, etc.\nThe key is to start some type of relief therapy before the headache gets worse.  I would start with the water and then try some of the suggested treatments.  Good luck.

Could be one of many things.....\n\nFirst, when did you last have your eyes tested? If you haven't had them tested within the last year, go and get them checked. You might need glasses. Poor vision can cause regular headaches.\n\nSecond, do you take over the counter pain killers regularly for your headaches? If so, they could actually be CAUSING headaches. Stop taking them regularly and see if the headaches get better.\n\nThird, they could be tension headaches. These feel like a tight band around your head and are relatively unresponsive to painkillers. They're due to muscle spasm in your neck and shoulders and general measures to reduce stress and anxiety will improve the 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

Absolutely, it could be a symptom of something serious. Take him to a doctor...no-one can have headaches for such a long time without cause.
