Keep a food diary. You have to stay away from coffee, chocolate, sodas (especially the dark ones), nuts, canned food and some people get headaches with the artificial sweeteners (splenda, equal). Start with that to see how it works...They can also be tension headaches (a lot of stress lately? try some exercise!) sinus problems or vision problems.
If you are overweight or have family history of Diabetes or High Blood pressure, you should go to your Dr. I would see the Dr. regardless of this...this is not normal.
As you said, you can kill your liver if you continue abusing the painkillers.Believe me, I work with liver diseases...
It could be tension headches or cluster headaches. All medication we use with the chance that we may cause other problems to ourselves. However that is the chance we have to take. Have you considered prescription medication? If you can find out what kind of headaches you have, you will have more options on how to manage them. Good luck. PS I know the meaning of a headache. I am a fellow sufferer!
try excedrin it is amazing
yes......go to a chiropractor as soon as possible!
go to the doctor, something could be SERIOUSLY wrong!

They are a medicine called Head On or somthing like that. I have never tried it but i heard from some friends that it works.
Sometimes people have too many hormones and it can give them headaches.
I am studying to be a massage therapist and I know that tension/sinus headaches can be relieved by a good massage. Tension/sinus headaches only, though.
If it is chemical or hormonal, you should probably just visit your doctor and ask him.
too much tylenol and advil is bad for your liver. You probably have a calcium deficiency. Other signs of calcium deficiency are muscle cramps, eye twitches, unexplained dementia, depression, or psychosis, even sleeping probelms!!! Make sure you take a liquid form of calcium and not pill form, pills will do you no good.
It's good to take a brain cat scan at least once in your life, if you've got bad headaches, it's probably nothing to worry about. Excedrin is indeed great but so is Topamax in keeping the headaches away.
Pl throw away meds.
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 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 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 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.
