I get a lot of tension headaches lately. I take medicines like Advil and Excederine. Excederine works the best but it also upsets my stomache. Sometimes a shower or bath helps, but I have found putting the blow dryer on low and blowing that dry hot air over my face and through my hair relieves a lot of tension. Its kinda like being in a sauna. What do you do to get relief from headaches?

If tylenol doesn't work, then i sleep it off. That works most of the time for me.

I've tried to sleep it off, but it doesn't work really well for my tension head aches. I guess the bess thing would be get rid of the tension. lol Thanks for responding.

i usually don't take anything if i have a headache. i'll probably put some medicated plasters and then go to sleep. usually that works for me. unless it's a really horrible headache, i'll take an aspirin. i've never gone to see a doctor whenever i have headaches though.
