Question: Hi I've been having headaches or possibly migraines for quite some time...?

I have a big presentation due that I really have to work on, and these have been getting in the way. I went to a doctor to seek temporary relief, and he told me to eat 3 panadols a day until the day of my presentation which is on the 10th of March. Is this safe? I'm averse to the idea of eating painkillers and I've been feeling a little woozy today but I don't know if it's because of the painkillers or psychological..
Thanks
P.S. It would be really great if someone with a medical background could offer their opinion.

Answers:

I would say what you're experiencing is classic "tension headaches" caused by stress and anxiety. If this presentation has been weighing on your mind for a long time, this might be the cause for you headaches and migraines and will subsequently end once you have completed your task. These are extremely common, especially nowadays. I would say 3 panadols seems quite a lot. I personally would take one to two neurofens as and when the headaches arise, but then I am not your GP nor am I qualified. If the pain still continues after the presentation, return to you GP.
