Tension headaches

Does anyone else get them?  What do you do to treat them and help prevent them. 

This was something I started getting when I was pregnant and they just stuck around.  They seem so much worse in the summer.  

Re: Tension headaches

  • 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.
