I just want to ask what do you usually do when you have a headache aside from drinking medicines. When my headaches, I usually lie down and sleep and when I wake up, the feeling will disappear. In case that the headache still lingers, I drink a lot of water. How about you?

I usually get headaches when I am under stres. I also get vomiting sensation along with headache. I don't take any tablets for headache. I apply local balms if I am at home and sleep well. I will come of out of headache when I am done with sleeping. If I am at office, I will have a hot coffee. It will help me to reduce my headache to an extent.

Me too. And it lasts for days together. And the sunlight hurts - I'd avoid it at all costs. So I make my room dark. Obviously I cant sleep with all that pain. But I do push some vicks inside my nostrils. That gives tentative relief, and eventually I might, note might, doze off. But even after I wake it is still around, so sleep doesnt really help. No beverages help me. I am not an addict, though I tend to take a lot of them when I can. I noticed one thing though, good breakfast for three consecutive days, or good fruits salad does have a positive effect.

I like to sleep most of the time curled on bed, sometimes putting a pillow on my head, massaging it and putting warm liniments with eucalyptus mint oil. if the headache is severe i take anti-headache medicines.

I only have headache when I exposed under the scorching sun or don't have enough rest. Usually I'll take a good sleep or nap and I'll feel better when I wake up. If not, I'll take paracetamol but I'll avoid it if I can. Modern medicine doesn't really go well with me. I might have gastric pain after I take one.

you know the only thing that has worked for me that involves no medicine at all is, self hypnotysation, i delved into this awhile ago and learnt alot, now one thing i can definately do on command real proper is cure hiccups, but it works for alot of things other than just that!

I usually apply a balm and have a hot cup of coffee, Sometimes I have a good sleep and as you have said it vanishes off when you wake up.
