Pain Center Consult: Use of medications like Ibuprofen and triptans on a frequent basis can cause rebound headaches. Family history of headaches also predisposes a person to headaches. Other factors involved in headaches include stress, physical trauma, sleep disorders, and previous history of headaches. There are several other medications as well as alternative therapies which can be helpful. Consult a pain center.

Butterburr: You may have developed resistance to medications. Herbal treatments may help. Butter burr compounds as well as magnesium supplements sometimes help. Good health habits and stress management are important. Do not depend on a magic medicine and stop using handfuls of pills.
