Sounds iike a tension headache. Avoiding the cause (stress) will relieve the symptoms. Take 800 mg of ibuprofen with PLENTY of water and/or food. Lay down and watch TV.

EDIT: In response to Gep, Tylenol is NOT an NSAID. Ibuprofen is, and if it is a sinus headache, it will help with some of the inflammation. If it is a sinus headache...

Do you have any sinus symptoms?

You need to read your labels and follow directions or you could get really sick. Tylenol and Excedrin are both acetaminophen. You can overdose on those. Have you tried something for sinus pressure? Sinus headaches are very painful and respond poorly to NSAIDS like Tylenol, Advil and such. Again, watch the ingredients because many contain acetaminophen and ibuprophen as well.



Caffine is the worse thing you can take for a headache, Try Meditation, you don't need to go out and pay for a class, just do it at home.Breathing exercise, 3 deep breaths and stop then repeat while your meditating If that doesn't help maybe try a stronger medication like a pain pill a doctor will give you.Or go see a Doctor.

See a doctor... Especially if it's for that long and painful, maybe a lot of water will help?
