Do you have headache and how do you cure it?

[mulambo]

I usually have headaches from
1) Too much work, on a pc
2) Too much videogames playing, on a pc
3) Too much chat, mail reading, watching videos, on a pc

So, I suggest any of the following remedies: limit the time you spend staring to a pc monitor. Also, limit the use of coffee (excessive use of coffee may cause stomachache, too). My ex-girlfriend, who really loves me, also suggests to go out for a walk and try to breathe some fresh air occasionally
Anyway, my personal suggestion (that never failed me in years), is a three-olives Vodkatini.
(This means Vodka and Martini Dry, shakered with a lot of ice, you can skip the Olives if you don't have/like them).

Ah, and, hello everyone, I just discovered this awesome site and was just looking around when I found this thread that made me think I could be of help!

Totally agree on the fresh air and the break-from-pc things... but not sure about the alcohol thing, it may be highly subjective.... e benvenuto! (controlla la sezione italiana nel forum principale ;) )

Anyway lately I got another bad headache, starting since I woke up. I went out for a walk after drinking 500ml of coffee (no kidding, it really worked some times, not this time though)... hours passed: no results. I went to the supermarket, bought a thing here is called " Bicarbonato di sodio effervescente al limone" ( sort of "lemon-flavoured sodium bi-carbonate"... aka "baking soda", I guess), I took 100 grams of it, in a couple of hours it was all over. Now I'm addicted to it.

Thank you for the benvenuto, mulambo.
I will explain the alcohol thing. I think that alcohol and coffee balance each other's effects (too much coffee may cause you to become too tense, alcohol helps to relax). I think nobody shoul drink too much alcohol, or too much coffee, without the other, over a 12-hour period. After a working day (during which I drank too much coffee ending up very stressed), I find that having a drink with friends could help to relax, and being relaxed could be a key to avoid headaches (and stomach ache). For the latter "lemon-flavoured sodium bi-carbonate" is likely to help too
I will look for the Italian section... but will be afk for a while now
Wish you a nice weekend!

I get a severe migraine at least once in a 2 week span. I just sit through the pain if I need to be out in the public, if I am at home I take a nice bath and or I take a nap.

Thankfully I don't get headaches too often, but when I do, I take Aleve. I've already tried everything else over-the-counter and Aleve conforms to my body's chemical make up, the same way Tylenol works for some

With me it's often stressful situations or rooms which are too stuffy (I think health and safety sometimes make a fuss about work-places with no natural light and no air conditioning).

If its a sinus headache, I use a neti pot. otherwise, I usually take some headache medication and/or try and sleep it off.

Relax your mind sometimes.

I constantly get headaches, but I did go downing a bottle of soda for Caffeine. I tend to try and avoid that as I'm leaning away from soda, and more just get migraines from bright lights. Pop some of those Ibuprofen to get better lol..

Whenever I get heavy headaches i just use our family remedy: Hot tea with a bit of lemon and some fresh air. For some reason hot tea with lemon is used to ease most sicknesses in my culture.

When I get a headache (thankfully it rarely ever happens) I take painkillers. They never failed me.

I sometimes get headaches and I try to cure them by drinking water and taking a nap.

[Imperius]

I sometimes get headaches and I try to cure them by drinking water and taking a nap.

And taking a nap doesn't make it worse?
Most of the time is what happens to me.
