have you ever tried to take herbs infusions? they're supposed to help, if you want to avoid medicines. otherwise, sleeping over it is a good solution, but by that i mean a whole night's sleep. sometimes i had a nap in the afternoon because of an headache, and when i woke up an hour later it just got worse!

depends on how painful the headache is. there are times that i just let it go on its own, i would sit down take a rest for a while. at other times i take medicine if its really painful and then i would go lie down, and if i have nothing to do i go to sleep.

When I have a headache I drink paracetamol. If I could not take the pain, I go to sleep also. But if I can tolerate it, I still do my daily tasks. I only stop if I can no longer bare the head ache.

Hi Rhane, when I have a headache, I try to avoid medication or painkillers. So the first thing I do, is to sleep it off. If the headache persists, then only I would take a pill or two. But the sleep/rest usually helps.

Hello mylotter, If your headache is severe after taking the ususal pills you can lie down and get some sleep. When I get head ache I try this and it proves effective.I masssage my scalp with my fingers starting from the back of my ears and towards the neck and end up in shoulders.If I massage with regular rhythms the headache vanishes after some time.Also I feel relaxed. Have a nice day

I usually lay down take med. If it's a really bad one I take pms so I can sleep it off. Liz
