Doctor can evaluate: Most people have a headache at some time, such as from colds and flus, lack of sleep, too much driving, long hours on the computer, stress at work, etc... Several over-the-counter treatments include Tylenol, (acetaminophen) Motrin/Advil, Alleve, and their generics. The trouble breathing is usually an urgent matter and must be seen by a doctor. Asthma, pneumonia, flu, pneumothorax, etc., are some possible causes.
