A member asked:

Hello doctor, i have been getting headaches for around a month now, and painkillers don't seem to be working, ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nutritional deficien: Many vitamin deficiencies can lead to headaches--especially magnesium, vitamin b12, riboflavin. Stress can cause headaches. Grinding your teeth is another cause of headaches. Not getting enough sleep is another issue. Food allergies and intolerances are a factor. The pain can be referred from your neck. See your doctor.
