Answers:
I normally get a dull ache at the temples or the back of my head!. I think these are caused by stress and I store a lot of that in my upper back and neck!. A good rubdown usually makes that go away!. Usually I dont like to take aspirin so I will get a neck rub or a foot rub (focusing on the heels) and drink some water!. If the pain is in the front I rub my forehead and try to control my breathing and focus on relaxing!. That usually works for me!.

However, there are other times I get horrible migraines that hurts on the sides of my head!. It feels like my skull is shrinking and at the same time someone is stabbing my head with a tiny but sharp knife!. I end up getting really bad nausea and if I move around too much I cant keep anything in my stomach down!. Smells make it worse!. I cant have food or smelly candles near me since I get so sensitive to it!. There isnt much I can do except go lay down in the dark with a cool wrap on my forehead!. Those are the worst because not even aspirin can help with the pain!. It acts up the worst in the heat but I heard these kind can be genetic!. Im waiting for my health insurance to kick in and find some relief through a stronger medication or at the very least get an explanation from my doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I get migraines and sinus headaches!.

for migraines, it's usually caused by a tightness or muscle knot in my shoulder blade muscles!. I use this thing called a "thera-cane" to massage it away!.!.!. usually works!. I also see a chiropractor who does this and also manipulates my neck!.!.!. works pretty well!.

for the sinus headaches, I use tylenol sinus!.!.

usually works pretty quickly, though the migraines can last for a whileWww@Answer-Health@Com
