Headache Remedies?

mollyxcate · July 2013

I've been getting headaches ALL. THE. TIME. lately. This has never been an issue for me before but pills don't seem to kick it and neither does caffeine. Any other remedies?

Water or Gatorade.
That is what usually helps me when I have a headache.

Make sure you're drinking water all throughout the day. You might not feel dehydrated, but it sounds like you are. It really helped me to make a conscious effort to drink enough water.

Also eat enough. Low blood sugar can be the culprit. Excedrine is the only drug that works for me too.

Oh, how I miss excedrine. I agree with staying hydrated and eating enough. They were always major culprits for me when I got migraines.

Definitely going to try some gatorade. I forgot that was what helped with my headaches while pregnant. I drink a tooooon of water so I don't think I'm dehydrated but I'll try to drink more.

Thanks for suggestions!

I also use Sudafed if the Excedrin doesn't work. Ice packs on your head work too!

Try taking magnesium supplement. It's actually what we treat bad headaches with in the hospital. There is some research that suggest that taking it daily can prevent headaches.

Sometimes caffeine works. My own experience is that by eliminating processed foods and artificial sweeteners I almost never get migraines while I used to get them frequently.
Can you go into a dark quiet room with a cool washcloth covering your forehead?
