Keep getting headaches but can't see doc until next week...any suggestions?!
Question: Keep getting headaches but can't see doc until next week!.!.!.any suggestions!?
Have been getting headaches every day for nearly a week!. Phoned doctors today to be told they only have one doc on so are only dealing with medical emergencies!. Won't be able to see a doc now until at least Tuesday (because of the bank holiday)!. Do you think I should just carry on taking pain killers until then, or does anyone have another suggestion!? Have no idea what's causing my headaches!. People are telling me it could be anything from my eyes, a sinus infection or even high blood pressure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Have you checked your blood pressure!? First check it!.!.!.if it is high then your head aches are probably being caused by it and you need to see a doctor to get your BP under control then the headaches will go away!. If your BP is good then see if you can get in with the eye doctor and get your eyes checked!. Also, yhave you recently stopped drinking cokes or caffeine!? If so try drinking a little bit!.!.!.!.also if you recently went on a diet and drastically cut your carbs that can cause headaches in some people!. Otherwise I would just keep taking Tylenol or whatever you are taking to ease the headache and be sure to rest frequently until you get in with your doctor so they can see if it is a sinus infection or something more serious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Do you drink enough water!? I get headaches if i let myself get a little bit dehydrated!. Also caffeine can start off headaches and so can cheese!. I also find one of the worst culprits is the weather and the light outside!. If it is a funny half light outside, like it is a bit sunny but also cloudy if you know what I mean I get the worst headaches!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The advice "drink lots of water and have some more sleeps" is good!. If slightly less than grammatical!.
How's your eyesight!? That's worth checking!.
What's your caffeine intake like!? It's worth cutting down on the coffee, tea and cola!.
Are you a boozer!? White wine gives a killer sinus headache, so do some lagers!.
Do you sleep with the window open a bit!? Get some air-flow into your bedroom!.
Then there are the obvious comedy points, such as don't hit yourself over the head with heavy objects, continually run at the wall or poke sharp things into your eyes or ears!. :-/
Good luck - get well soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I hear ya! What I do is take a couple Excedrin and take a long hot shower!. Let the water run over your head and neck!. Also try some neck bending exercizes in the shower!. After the hot shower, have someone give you a hard neck and shoulder massage/rub!. If possible, lie down and try to take a short nap or do this before you go to bed tonite!. It does work really well!. You may be tense and under pressure or stress!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
