Severe Headaches - what do you do?

Hello kiran. I have migraine headaches almost once a month. When it comes, the only way I can get rid of it is to take one capsule for cold and in a couple of hours it will be gone. The main reason I have a migraine could be related to my not having a good health and having a cold. When I have a cold, a headache or migraine arises. If I don't take a capsule, it will become worse. And if permitted, a good sleep helps a lot. Thank you for your discussion and the tips to us readers and responders. Have a good day, kiran.

Hello Kiran ji, I have not headache problem for 11 years. I forgot how to feel when some one have headache. It is possible with a herbal treatment. Acupressure is help full in headache due to stress or tiredness. Migraine is cure able. If some one have pain in a specific region of head than he must be consult with doctor.

If my headache is from sinuses, I take some medicine for that. Mostly I find that if I stay well hydrated and get enough sleep and take vitamines and minerals I do not get bad headaches.

Your posting certainly is very informative, and very helpful to fellow-myLotters. Many people suffer from severe headache and migraines. I have know a case where very severe migraine got totally relieved by practising meditation. Since then, he became totally devoted to meditation, and continued on practising it.

You're right, headaches have a reason, and we can only get rid of them when we know what is the cause of them. In my case I used to suffer a lot of headaches, until I found out that the reason was connected to a different part of my body. Now, in order to get rid of headaches, I need to relax that other part of the body. People tend to abuse painkillers, and that's not the solution, as they can end up being useless.

Kiranji I agree there are tons of reasons for headache, allopathy advises some painkiller only, homoeopaths give the best medicine after digging the symptoms. I am having mild headache since last 4 days, nothing worked, they gave antibiotics O2 for 3 days, lastly my wife did what you call accupressure, am feeling better now. Thank you so much for this discussion Enjoy life to fullest. Professor ‘*^Bhuwan^*’. .

Hi Kiran! So, what caused your head ache here? Do you also suffer from migraine? As far as I am concerned , I get a severe head ache when I am under stress, go out in the hot sun , am hungry for a long time during summer, eat peanuts [cooked] or sometimes too much of chocolate, lose sleep and get up very early in the morning.I have found preventive measures--for example, I take a banana when I am hungry. THis gives me instant energy with the instant sucrose supply.I take peanuts in small quantities and I take jaggery along to escape the head ache.I am quite conscious of chocolate intake. Lastly, if I have to get up early to take a train or due to some other reason, I pop in a sleeping pill because lack of proper sleep gives me not only headache but also nausea. I sometimes take an antacid also which helps in case of headache caused by acidity. ANd of course, I pop in a pll when I know that I have no time to cajole my headache with bedrest and blinding of curtains for a long while.

For me drink soya for your health so that no headache anymore and water with alkaline base.

Tension is the reason for the headache for many people. People get into stress in home and in working place. We have to keep our mind clear and free. Happy environment is necessary. Above all we have to maintain our health with good habits. We have to regulate our bowl habit. I suggest " TRIPHALA " Himalayan Aurvedic Product which strengthen the intestines. This medicine was prescribed by a Senior Doctor in medicine(MD), that has almost relieved me from my headache.It is purely prepared from Natural plants.

If you feel headaches sometimes you are just thirsty. Try to drink more water and later on it will improve until its all gone. And also if you experience it I think there's something wrong on your body. Try to consult the Doctor as soon as possible. Eat healthy foods. It is advisable to have more nutrients and nutrition is very important. If we improve our eating habits it will reflect to us. Good day! God bless!

I usually sleep when i suffer with headache.It does help me sometimes,but,it also fail a few times.I think it's only because of stress,i get headache.So,i don't go for medicine.Cheers,..

I have suffered from severe headaches back when I was still in high school. It's too severe for me that I literally can't do anything. I can't do my assignments, projects, etc. A lot of times, I have to just stay in bed and pray that it will go away. Ordinary paracetamol won't work and my mom doesn't let me take any other kind of medication because according to her I might develop some sort of "pain killer addiction." The headaches will only stop if I will be able to sleep or if I vomit. So sometimes what I did, I force myself to vomit. I don't know if it is bad, but that's the only time that I will have some sort of relief. It goes for some times, months or maybe even years. I finally decided to go to the doctor and he cannot find anything wrong with me. What he did though, he referred me to an ophthalmologist. And so I scheduled an appointment right way. What the doctor then discovered is that I have astigmatism! Apparently, this eye disorder causes headaches if not directed. I was given prescription glasses that I have to wear religiously. And you know what! It did eventually went away! I still have headaches from time to time but not that severe anymore unlike before I don't have my glasses. Thank God!

Sometimes it really happens to have headache. And it is not easy if we are experiencing it. For headache we should take some pain relievers and even paracetamol will do for that. If severe headache occurs there must be something wrong for that. So, you should see a doctor for check up and to know more what's the reason behind it. Remember as the saying goes "Prevention is better than cure."

I take Panadol if headaches. pain dissapear. but we should see a doctor.

Hi kiran, the reasons you mentioned for severe headaches are all correct. Empty bowel also create headache. Acid secretion is one of the causes of headache. So food should be taken timely to get rid of headache. Habit of drinking water for time to time also help to get rid of headache.
