Check for carbon monoxide and mold in your vents. This is common in older places. You can buy a monoxide detector at the store near the fire detectors. PLease chck this out quick because too large amounts can be leathal! Be safe...

Call doctor and ask them.

Could be mold or it could be dust. Do you have pets?

get a carbon monoxide detector....and maybe a dehumidifier...the air may be too dry and it might be dehydrating you guys

i don't know...i recently moved into an apt and every since we've been plagued by headaches.

You could be catching a cold, or what you said. I heard somewhere that Lavender helps headaches...

mold?

maybe your mom got a new candle or air freshener sometimes that can be why

it might be mold in the house. it might be sinuses (is the weather getting bad by you?). my mom and i both get sinus headaches before a storm system comes in, sometimes days before.

clean out the furnace (and the filter). and if there is any area that gets wet a lot check for mold.

dust and mold can cause things like sinus headaches

It could be lack of sleep, stress, pain, or a disease(like flu).

Personaly, start out with good night rest :-)

I get headaches all the time.
I dont think it comes from your house.
I got my headaches usally at night and thats because my rooms dark. Scietiffally if your romm is dark and you sleep you will get a headache.
If you want to stop the headache i suggest you see your locall doctor and tell him whats wrong

From time to time I have headaches, it comes from salt, pork and fried food it's called high blood pressure. Change your eating habits.

check your house for carbon monoxide as soon as possible! If you live in a cold climate and the house is closed up, or the windows are shut -get a detector - your lives could depend upon it! Fungus or mold could be a problem if it's in the house. Allergies to pets or smoke may be another cause. call a doctor for further advice if all these these things are crossed out - good luck!

Sometimes new furniture, fittings or freshly painted house could give you headache from the chemicals released. Make sure you don't have any chemicals lying around not properly stored. The furnace should not be a problem but if you have inadequate ventilation, any heater will give you headaches because it is sucking up oxygen and you & your family are exhaling carbon dioxide which definately gives you headaches in high quantities. Make sure you ventilate somehow so the air is constanly refreshed.

It's possible to have a small gas leak. If you have any gas lines to your home for the furnace, stove, washer, dryer or even a gas fireplace. Go down to any hardware store and you can purchase a Carbon Monoxide electronic meter that you plug into the power outlet closest to where you know you have gas being used in your home. It measures in parts per million and this way you determine if any gas is leaking. Remember gas is odorless and tasteless. One of the early symptoms of gas leaks are headaches. Go and make the purchase today. They only cost $25-$35 ea. You could even buy 2 of them for different parts of the house. Every home needs these safety devices whenever any type of gas is used in the home. If other family members are experiencing unusual tiredness, nausea, or real bad headaches open up the windows and the doors to get fresh air. Then call the fire department, they will come out and know what to do. They have experience in this area. You should be aware of the gas shut-off valve outside of your home if you live in a house. This way, if you suspect a gas leak you can go and shut it off until help comes to your home. Or call PGE to come out for an inspection. You could also go to the yellow pages for an expert to come out now. Further details go here: http://www.thesite.org/homelawandmoney/h...
