I had them all.the.time. in college. I would just lay in a dark room and cry! Excedrin seemed to dull the pain the most, but still wouldn't totally make it go away. Hope it gets better soon!
I used to get them all the time. A good friend that's a doctor told DH and I that most tension headaches are caused by dehyrdration. His recommendation was to drink 16-20oz of water if a headache appeared, wait an hour, and if the headache was still there then take something. Most times, the water does the trick.
