Headaches - any easy solutions??!
Question: I have always suffered with headaches, but over the last year they have been increasingly worse! i've been to my doctor who told me to stop taking pain killers for them because that could be causing rebound headaches (when your body is addicted to the pain killer and when the pain killer runs out you get a pain because the effects of the pain killer have worn off).
i stopped using pain killers and the headaches eased off but now they are back and worse then ever. my doctor has sent me for a skull xray and it came back clear and he has me on tablets that i take once a day but i just found out they are antidepresants and i don't feel comfortable taking them now. but they weren't doing much for the pain anyway!!
is anyone in a similar situation or have any suggestions???
thanks!

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 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, 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 a tiny round tip 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.

Where on your head are the headaches? If they are on your temples it could be tension from your shoulders. If they are migraines, have you tried Imatrex or something along those lines. Also try to keep track of your headaches, are you stressed when you get them, what are your eating habits when you get them. Look for these kinds of patterns and if you see one bring it up to your doctor the next time you see them.
stop taking the tablets if your not depressed, doctors are to quick to give these type of pills, my mum used to say if you have a headache rub cologne on your temple surprise it does work, but your doctor is giving you pill when he has found nothing wrong with you, change your doctor good luck ps also diet can have a big effect on your well being including headaches
