Hi. im a 16 year old girl and i suffer from a lot of headaches.. infact i had a headache for 4 hrs straight ..

then i went to sleep .. woke up the next morning with a headache. what should i do ?

I have suffered from daily headaches for years, which could last for most of the day, and was told the only way to get better was to stop taking any painkilling medication, as the medication was causing a rebound headache. Naturally when I stopped, the headaches became much worse, in fact I was climbing the walls for a week of having unbelievable pain in my head. At the end of that week I then went to see someone who practiced Bowen's Technique, which is gentle manipulation of the skin over the muscles and helps to get your own body to reset itself and heal itself.

I had to go for three sessions and I have to say it's worked wonders for me. I feel so much more relaxed, if I do get a headache, they are very mild and tends to go away by itself in about an hour. I feel more energetic too and can concentrate more on different things. It's the best thing I've ever done, having tried other various treatments like osteopathy, chiropracter, acupuncture etc. But firstly, I would try stopping the medication, but if you do need to take something, I found Ibuprofen worked best, not giving a rebound headache which is what you want to stop happening. I sympathise and best of luck.
