I would definatly see a doctor if i where you. But have you ever thought that it might be eye strain? Do you wear glasses? Maybe you need to or maybe get some stronger ones? I hope you find the cause hun and I hope you feel better soon.

I get headaches that will not stop too. And when the pain gets to be too much, I take a hot shower and sit at the home in the tub letting the hot water hit my head. And then I also will sleep with a heating pad on my pillow on low at night to continue the heat. I personally do not know why they sell migraine ice...because cold always seem to make mine worse.

Do you know what kind of headaches they are? Are they sinus headaches? That would be pain in and around your eyes and cheek bones. It is suggested on the first sign of a headache you should drink a full glass of water. Dehydration is the number one cause of headaches. I was getting headaches every day. They always occurred around the same time, during or after my walk. I told my massage therapist and she said I was probably sweating out sodium and I should put a little bit of salt in my water bottle. That helped. There could be something in your diet causing your headaches like caffeine (though I have found that quitting caffeine GAVE me headaches). Keep a log of when you get your headaches and what you might be eating that could cause the headaches.

Maybe you have a problem with your eyes. Try not to watch for too long.

when you have headache drink 3-4 glass of water. Within a few minutes you will find improvement as you pass urine.

aww sweety! im sorry to hear about that!! I know that when i get a headache..that an old family secret that works on me soemtimes is..run warm water on your hands,,,sit while you do this,,gramma said it was so the blood is diverted from the brain to the hands.Also if you get migraines alot..you should talk to your doc..my sister had to get a spinal a few years ago and it found something..but i dont remember what..lol. And i think men give headaches! In reality, I think there's a number of reasons. I think women get more headaches because of hormones. Two, I think that they get more headaches because most women today work outside the home as well as the home, so they don't have enough time to take care of things that can help to decrease headaches: eating properly, sleeping properly, etc...so like i said talk to your doc hun..and take care!!

Don't know what is going on there. Your medical situation could be the cause if you are withdrawing from some medication. Stress could be the cause with your lovely family there as you know. I would suggest feverfew tea. Would offer meditation if you could find a quiet spot and had the patience. Mu daughter swears by creeping charlie...kind of out of season so feverfew should be easy to get and brewing tea would be calming too. Suggest honey as the sweetener. Please give it a try and I think you will be pleased!!

I don't get headaches every day and I hope you are exagerating because no one should be getting headaches everyday. If you're hurting around your eyes or feeling your eyes are pulling/tired then maybe you would feel this daily in which case I'd be getting my eyes checked as soon as possible. If your pain is in or around your nasal passages again this could likely hurt on a daily basis. For both of these cases tratment is simple. Maybe the need for glasses. For nasal I've had to use Flonase and that stuff is really good. If your headache mainly runs accross your forehead you may have stress related headaches. If you headache is only on one side of your head and may even cause vomiting you're likely suffering micranes. A micrane headache is the worse as far as I'm concerned and the hardest to get rid off. I stay in a dark room and often I hold an ice pack to the area I'm hurting. I have medication from my doctor for those. I'm told they tend to be hereditary. Considering my parents both had them and my brother and I too I guess that a correct guess. Take Care and I hope this helps some.

Yes, I have them every day. I had my eyes checked and they are fine. They run in the family, alot of my siblings have migrains everyonce in a while, but my mother had them all of the time. She had a headache every day for years and years. For all I know mine might be caused by hormones.
