go to a quiet room and turn out the lights. sometimes even a hot bath will relax you if you are having a stress headache, and drink a lot of water.

Caffeine does not cause headaches, it helps them. Why do you think they put caffeine in most headache medications. I use an ice pack to constrict the vessels in my head. That is why you have a headache. The vessels dialate and blood goes into the vessels and the vessel keeps engorging with blood. The more your head hurts, the more they engorge. You need to get all that extra blood out of the vessels so I use an ice pack held on my head (wrap it in a pillow case or smething first) the vessels constrict, the blood runs out and the headache goes away. You must relax while you are doing this and only hold the ice pack on for 20 minutes of every hour until it stops hurting. Usually it stops hurting the first time you do it. No meds, just ice. Try it.

Cut out a lemon and with the inside part hold it on the part thats hurting after a few minutes it will go away, I’m not sure if i explained it right.

Drink water, but before drinking put your finger on the top of the glass and go round 5 times.
It works :D

Pills are not the answer. I haven’t taken any meds in like three years and never get a headache. Stay away from caffienne. That’s what causes them unless somebody is bangin on your head. If it hurts that bad eat alot of food and youll probablly go to sleep. Youll feel better when you wake up.
