If you have a headache, how can you get rid of it?

It depends on why I have a headache. I've learnt from my body that when I have a headache behind my left eye, it's because I'm dehydrated. So I drink up loads of water, and it tends to go away rather quickly. If I have a headache behind my right eye, it's because I'm tired, exhausted, or it's that time fo the month. Usually an early night or a nap solves that one. If this doesn't fix it, I usually take some paracetamol or ibuprofen... whatever's available. And while I'm waiting for it to kick in, I press on my pressure points. That's pinching between the thumb and index finger... the muscles in that area, not the skin webbing. Someone told me about them once, and it does seem to take the headache away, even if it's only temporarily. (I think it might be some sort of distraction technique?)

When I have a headache the best thing for me to do is to get away from the issue. For example sitting in front of your monitor. To get relax and get my mind off of it. Taking tylenol can help it. Going without caffeine can cause mine. Go get caffeine and eat something. Doing something that you do not have to think about. Take a nap.

If the opportunity arises then managing to slepp for a while will certainly alleviate the situation, although this is not always a viable option. As a general rule I simply try to tolerate the situation and hope that it will eventually subside.

when it winter i go outside nothing helps calm my headache than a leatle cold air if its summer i take some medicine and try to sleap a litle these are my cures for headache

when i get headaches which is very rare i take 2 ibuprofen tablets which are better than paracetamol as they work quicker to ease the pain and discomfort. also i sit down in a quiet room alone and after 10 mins my pain has gone

whenever i had a headache, i use tigerbalm and i will sleep for 5 fours for the headache to reduce

Suprisingly, I do not get headaches too often but when I do ..they are really bad!! I am allergic to aspirin so when I do get a headache I have to take two ibuprofin and lay down in a quiet,dark room for about ten minutes. That usually gets rid of my headache.

Sometimes I try a little massage of my temples or scalp this can help but not always there are so many types of headaches, sometimes I try to ignore it and occassionally it will fade usually it doesn't. I take asprin, or non asprin, or will lay down in a quiet dark room if it is really bad, sometimes a quick short nap is all that is needed to help the headache fade. So I suppose I do a little bit of everything depending on the source or type of headache. I have extreme sensitivity to light, so I make sure I have a cap with a brim to block out light, and sunglasses, even on cloudy days, sometimes no on the sun glasses as sometimes it is as simple as removing my contact lenses to aleviate some of the pressure.

You have to sit down and ask yourself is there any psychological or physical cause for your headache.if its psychological try to remove the trigger ..i.e. if you have a wound in your heart than cry it out.

Eat a spoon of sugar and some water.
