Headache!!?


I was taking Centrum One a Day vitamins and then I stopped taking them because I would get really bad headaches afterwards. I tried to start taking my vitamins again after not taking them for awhile, thinking maybe it was just a phase... but I got another headache and these headaches are so bad that I feel nauseous. Is there something in vitamins that could possibly induce headaches? Also, what the best home remedy for headaches?
----------

Many things can cause HA(headaches) .
being dehydrated, lack of food, stress, a pinch nerve.
I found that nothing helped me.
I had severe HA and backaches for 2years. Seeing a chiropractor 2-3times a wk, taking too much Tylenol etc. Everything was a temporary fix. The pain would go away and then come back in a couple of hours
Then a friend told me about Himalayan Goji Juice. Drinking 4oz of juice a day my HA/backaches were gone in 2mos . I am firm believer in the Himalayan Goji Juice for any kind of pain!!!

headache???


i got a headache and my eyes are burning i also feel really dizzy and my ears hurt a bit sometimes
what type of headache is this
----------

This is not a migrain headache my friend i suffer from the same affliction ..this is an allergy and what is happening is your sinus cavety is swollen wich puts pressure on the eyes that's where you are getting the burning eyes and also the pressure in your head is going to your ears wich will make you feel dizzy for sure because a persons balance is adjusted by liquid in the ears so if there is pressure there it will affect your balance wich in turn will make you dizzy..take an antihistamine and make an appointment with you family doctor to have an allergy test done so they can pinpoint the problem so you can start treating the allergy properly  (+ info)

HeAdAcHe!!?


I can feel a headache coming on. And whenever I get headaches, it turns into a migraine. Quick, what can I do to get rid of it? Preferably no medicines because I don't have any right now. And also, I've heard that dehydration causes headaches. How long the relief occurs??????????
----------

Yes, dehydration can trigger a migraine. Drink a couple of glasses of water and in the future make sure you drink enough water, prevention is much better than a cure. Besides, the water won't cure a migraine once it begins but it will allow it to get better at it's own pace. Take whatever you have, Tylenol, Motrin, . Excedrine is my favorite. Get an ice pack or cold cloth for your head and lay down in a dark, quiet room and try to sleep. Take a bucket just in case you need it.  (+ info)

Tension-type headaches affect almost everyone at some point. Those that happen occasionally are just that: occasional headaches. Some people, however, have tension-type headaches just about every day, and these are considered to be chronic. Headache symptoms for tension-type headaches usually include pressure or muscle tension on both sides of the head or back of the neck; the pain is usually constant, not sharp or throbbing. Many people describe them as like having a band squeezed around their head.Hormone headaches are menstrual headaches that may start before your period is due or while you’re menstruating. Migraines are often associated with menstruation, and symptoms include sharp, throbbing pain on one side of the head, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light, sound, and even touch.Cluster headaches affect men more often than women. They are extremely intense, very severe headaches that last between 30 and 45 minutes; you can have several in one day. They usually come on with no warning, catching people by surprise. The pain is piercing and usually located on one side of the head, often around the eye. People also report teary eyes on the affected side and sinus congestion. The headaches will recur over a period of time, almost always on the same side, and are followed by a headache-free period of varying length.Migraines are often put in a class by themselves because of the intensity of the pain and the overall effect they have on the body. For some people, migraine symptoms include auras, which are symptoms that occur before the pain hits. The auras can be visual (seeing lines or spots) or they can cause motor or verbal disturbances. “It’s estimated that 50 million people in the United States have migraine,” says Dr. Herzog. However, most do not have migraine with aura.  (+ info)

What to do if we have prolonged headache after hitting our head?


My friend hit her head on a tree forcefully. It swells on that area and she had a headache. After 2 days swelling is gone but she had headache. Since the day she hit she is having the headache. Now it's more than a month and even now she had the headache. What should she do? Is it critical?
Will it be dangerous?
----------

That is just a little case of whiplash where the muscles in the neck got tight from trying to keep the head straight while the tree wanted to place her head in another place. Once she releases the muscles in her neck the headache will be gone. Here is how to release the muscles:
For your neck:
place your hand alongside your head and push your thumb in under your ear and place it on the muscle there. Take your fingers and place them on the back of your neck on the muscles there. Press them together and hold a good amount of pressure on them. Then relax, take a deep breath and exhale. After 30 seconds you should be feeling the muscle going limp under the pressure. Continue to hold until the entire muscle has gone limp, then lean your head forward as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your head there for another 30 seconds.
If all the pain doesn't go away at first, she should try doing it one more time.  (+ info)

Why do I get a headache right as I start drinking alcohol?


Ever since I went on a HUGE binge, I now get a headache right after I take my first swallow of hard alcohol. I don't get it from beer, only hard alcohol. I could drink beer all night long without getting a headache, but right as I drink hard A, there it is. Before my HUGE binge, I could drink hard A fine without getting a headache.
----------

Many people get migraines from alcohol..hard to believe right?. The clue is it is happening just after drinking..a bad throbbing headache, nausea. Some hard alcohols also have additives now which could be the problem if beer isn't causing this.

Believe it or not, binging can cause brain damage at a microscopic level. Your brain is now irritated to some degree and cannot tolerate what it could before. If this really bothers you see your doctor and tell them this.

The obvious answer here is...why do you want to inflict brain damage on yourself? Not to mention the liver..  (+ info)

What causes a headache in the same spot above an eye?


What could possibly cause this kind of a headache...It's usually in one spot above the right eye. This has been going on for about 9 months now and the headaches come randomly about 3-4 times a week (doesn't seem to be caused because of change in weather). The pain is usually sharp just in that area. Could this be serious or is it just a normal thing to deal with? What can cause this and what can be done to prevent it other then to drink pills?
----------

Most headaches around the eyes are one of two types - either migraine, or sinus headache; you may be able to determine which one it is likely to be by the following:

A migraine headache is virtually entirely on one side of the head; it is often accompanied by nausea, and sensitivity to light and/or sound. Some people experience an "aura" shortly before the migraine begins; it can be visual, auditory, or even olfactory (sense of smell). A migraine is often helped by being in a cool, dark room, and often disappears after a period of sleep. The causes of migraines are not fully understood, but there are prescription medications that can help; ibuprofen helps some people, but usually it doesn't do much. Some people also respond to medications or liquids containing caffeine.

Sinus headaches behave differently. Generally, the pain is on both sides of the face, and often worst near the cheekbones or around the eyes. Light or sound generally have little if any effect on the headache. Cool surroundings often make the sufferer feel worse; warm compresses or a heating pad often help. Sinus headaches generally respond well to ibuprofen or Tylenol, particularly if combined with sudafed/pseudoephedrine (like Tylenol Sinus formula or a similar medication).

If either one of these sounds familiar, then check with your doctor - particularly if it is a migraine, as the only really effective migraine medications are prescription-only preparations. Even if none of the above sounds familiar, it sounds to me like it's time to see your doctor. Good luck!  (+ info)
