What can I take for a hard stress headache?

I can not get rid of my headache. I already took excedrin. It aint working. I went through my work being robbed yesterday and I had a big panic attack when I got home. Now I have this headache :( Ughh... is it safe to take 2 more excedrin?

Green tea with sugar, two big mugs. Chocolate chip cookie. Sit in an easy chair or lie down and pretend you are lying on the beach (20 minutes).

Every 4 hours is usually the wait between doses of over the counter pain meds, like aspirin or tylenol or ibuprofen. Aleve is different. Whatever you're taking, follow the instructions on the bottle to prevent damage to your kidneys or liver.

A tension headache like you have may not respond to aspirin or tylenol. Your body and muscles need to relax in order for the pressure on your head to go away. Got anyone who can give you a really good massage of your head, face, neck, shoulder, and back? Or do you have access to a hot tub where you could spend a half hour today?

If nothing else, put on some soothing music, turn out the lights and put blankets over the windows. Get an ice pack. Get in bed and put the ice pack on your forehead or your neck. In half an hour or so, switch the ice pack with a hot water bottle, or some washcloths wet in really hot water. When I have migraines, alternating cold and hot compresses on my forehead for a couple of hours works much better than any prescription medication.

Here is what works for me every time. For a tension headache, I take 2 Excederin. I then lie down in quiet and dark. 30 minutes after the 2 Excederine, I take 1 more Excederin. Headache is usually gone, if not just about gone. Rest and quiet and stillness are essential to this combination.

i get headeaches to, i either take a nap, then when i wake up, it'S GONE!!!! or you can take a pill. [TY]-[NEH]-[LOL] I'M SORRY BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SPELL THE PILL, SO I SOUNDED IT OFF

HEAD ON SUCKS stay away

YOG. MEDITATION.
pl see what suits you.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.
Pl try cold water bath and observe if in hot country, if pain increases use warm.
If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help.
Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief.
If it fails you will have to go for Acupuncture.

There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.

Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes.
None of them can be treated with medicine.
Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.

Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.

Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.

Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole.

Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits like dates, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there.

But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.

If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.

For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.

It may disappear naturally too.
