I have a soaring headache at the moment and I've got no clue how to stop it other than taking a painkiller but I don't want to take painkillers too often. Does anyone have tips on how to solve headaches?

Depends what caused it. It's often dehydration so drinking water can help. if it's stress then all I can think of is trying to relax

As far as I know I consume enough fluids but perhaps I drink too much garbage like coke. Thanks for the tip.

i've heard that coffee restricts the blood lessining high blood pressure to the brain. perhaps you should let your doctor know, you might have high blood pressure ? and that needs to be treated.

I don't really like coffee but if it helps to be relieved from the pain I'll try it. My blood pressure is a bit above average ( I know because I get tested regularly) so that's not likely.
