How often do you get headache? I got this today since i came back from shopping.... it doesnt go away even after i napped for 4 hours... i probably gonna take medication in a while...i think it is also come from my sleeping schedule and had been studying too much lately. Do you get headache often? and how do you get them?

Headaches are awful. I usually do get headaches. Usually for 3-4 consecutive days every month, and they are often very intense. They are actually more migranes and I find them really hard to cope with. I usually just go to a really quiet and dark room, take some paracetemol and go to sleep for a few hours. I don't like talking to anyone when I have a bad headache, I always need to be alone

hello Shree, that sound like severe, is your blood pressure normal? i would suggest to check them out.. paracetemol is no good for the long run... take care Shree.

Hey thanks for the concern 
. I do have normal blood pressure, I had it checked recently and the doctor said it was okay. I have had bad headaches since I was really young and had a proper check-up around 15 years ago - they too said that everything appears normal. I know that too much medicine is bad in the long run, but the pain is so bad that I cannot take it. I do find that sometimes it comes on when I am quite stressed out though.

hi lovesummer....i sometimes have a "season" where a headache comes and goes. sometimes i can pinpoint what caused it. stress definitely gives me headaches. a lot of physical labor gives me a headache. sometimes i don't know why i get one. but i do get breaks from having them. studying definitely can give you a headache.and when it starts it's better to take something right away and get on top of it.

hi little turtle , that is a cute name...
I dont get so much headache, this was the second headache i have got since a long time ago, really i rarely get headache. mostly the headache come from stress due to release of stress hormone, the vasopressin , in renin angiotensis system regulation, do watch out too for your blood pressure,, oh yeah i dont take the pain killer too, unless it is a really severe headache that i couldnt take it no more,, the pills are bad,, they lessen the threshold of effecacy graduallyfrom the intaking depend on the frequency and doses... so it hink thats dangerous..
lastly, take care little turtle :)

Hi lovesummer, try going to an eye doctor. Sometimes headaches come when we have eye problems or your eye grade needs to be fixed, I mean the prescription glasses or contact lenses. You said you study so much so you must be reading too much too. As of me, I often get headaches from using too much computer or maybe when my period is approaching.

hello marisriel, thank you for your suggestion, yeah maybe i need to change the glasses. and my glasses was broken it doesnt have the leg on the left often drop when i was waering them, definitely i need a new one or repair it. yeah that could be why i was getting headache.
i know using computer for too long cause me headache too and neck sour probably thats the primary reason :)
take care there

i used to get headaches often and eventually when you take too many pills all the time your body gets immune to them and they don't end up working. now i don't get them as often anymore which makes me happy LOL
but one big reason for headaches is due to dehydration and lack of water so you can try to push up how much water you drink daily it would help with it. what i do sometimes is lie down and take a wet cloth and put it on my head and when i wake up the headache is usually gone by then
good luck with it!

yes that is why i dont take pain killer, they are so dangerous. our body tends to heighten the threshold if their efficacy once we have taken too much of it...

I do not get headaches that often but sometimes I do. I do not know why I get them but I try other ways first to deal with it. I will take a nap or a hot shower. I will drink some hot tea but if all that fails then I will take medicine. I do not like medicine very much so I try everything else first. If I am at work then I will try tea then medicine because I can not go away to nap or shower! heh
Anyway I find that a hot shower usually makes me feel good no matter what.

i get headaches usually when i get stressed out from school/work. the same is for me if i nap, the headache doesn't go away. i usually need to take tylenol or some type of aspirin just to feel better. hopefully you wont get them as often. take care!
