How to Get Rid of Bad Headaches

If you have a headache that you can't seem to shake, then follow the tips below to get you on your way to feeling better ASAP.

Instructions

1. 

   WATER

   A bad headache could indicate you are severely dehydrated despite not feeling thirsty. Pour yourself a glass of water or two and keep pushing the H20 to refuel your body. Try this first to see if it helps.

2. 

   TAKE OFF HATS, HEADBANDS, CONTACT LENSES

   Most people are not aware that the items we place on our heads can place tension on sensitive pressure points causing headaches to arrive. Strip your head of all hair accessories and watch the headache melt away.

   Also, contact lenses can cause pain and discomfort when worn for extended amounts of time. It might just be that your eyes need a rest.

3. 

   MASSAGE

   Have someone else massage your head in the spots causing you pain. Placing light massaging pressure can instantly sooth and relieve a headache.

4. 

   PAIN RELIEVERS

   Try a non-prescription pain reliever and follow the directions for dosage on the bottle. Tylenol, Advil, Ibuprofen, can alleviate your discomfort. See your doctor for a prescription if you require something stronger.

Tips & Warnings
