I always get headaches. what should i do?

Headache management: Headaches are a common complaint and the approach to headache management depends on cause and type of headache - first see a family doc or neurologist for proper diagnosis if headaches are new, severe, or persistent - especially if there are other bodily symptoms. In addition to medication which might be prescribed by ur md, clinical and health psychologist can work on techniques & triggers.

Headaches: If you have tried all over the counterpain medications, you might consider a magnesium supplement, then see your doctor. You might need a daily medication like topamax (topiramate) or Propranolol to keep the headaches away. You can also find out if your headaches are coming from tension, eye strain, dehydration, lack of sleep/poor sleep, skipping meals, stress, sleep apnea/snoring, or chronic sinus problems.

Get checked out: A good start at finding potential headache triggers would be to maintain a diary. Every time you have a headache write down what you were doing, the foods you ate that day, alcohol, smoking, caffeine, stress, how much sleep you had the night before, eye strain, etc. Try to find patterns in your headache so that you can learn what things to avoid. Get checked by your doctor.
