Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Medications: Tylenol (acetaminophen) and Ibuprofen can both be taken for headaches. They can be used together and just follow the dose instructions on the bottle. Then schedule a visit with an Obgyn to discuss irregular heavy periods and the options to improve control.
