There are many causes for headaches. If you get them frequently, you should definitely see your doctor. The headaches may be a symptom of something serious. There are some natural headache remedies to try. Relaxation helps open up the blood vessels in the head, drink water also helps dilate them.Health Question & Answer

Well, once you already are suffering from the pain of a migraine you don't have a vast array of options. Basically, laying in a cool, dark room with either a cool or warm compress [whichever helps] is the major treatment. I found that when I had a headache with pounding pain behind my eyes, laying down with my arm across my eyes applying gentle pressure helped to ease the pressure and the pain.

The best way to treat migraines, though, is to prevent them. Keep an eye on when you get them, what foods trigger them in your case, and make sure that you drink plenty of water [2 liters is recommended] each day. Fever few capsules can be helpful to some people, but identifying foods and other triggers is most important. Health Question & Answer

I hope you are seeing a doctor, you will probably need to carry drugs with you around for the rest of your life. And that's ok, it's much better than suffering so much. also, try to prepare yourself to be very sensitive to your body and predict when you feel the migraine is coming, that way you can arrange with your boss/ school to go home BEFORE driving, etc. I worked with someone like that, she went home a lot, but she was completely useless at work when it HIT her. Take the drugs.Health Question & Answer
