ive started getting headaches every day(most)i suspect medication overuse because i use a non steroidal on those days. how long would it take 2 impove?

Question

I get headaches every day and sometimes they can get pretty bad, what can help me? I've tried a cold wash cloth, tapping points, deap breathing, asprin, and other medications that claim to take away my headache

Answer 1

Ok: try switching to Tylenol, (acetaminophen) or let it ride with no treatment for few days. If pain a result of the Nonsteroidal then I suspect discontinuation should lead to improvement within 4 to 48 hours

Answer 2

Some considerations: If you are having migraines, there may be a medication rebound effect and then "chronic daily headaches". However, is there a problem inside the cranium? Do you have a history of head injury? Do you have a reaction to female hormone pills? Is your thyroid ok? Talk to your doctor, maybe a simple solution.

Answer 3

There can be many ca: We need more information as to the type of headaches, how often, associoated symptoms etc and you need a thorough exam and may need blood test and/or imaging to determine the cause and treat approprietely so see your doctor.

Answer 4

Many things: These symptoms can only be adequately diagnosed only after a thorough evaluation by your doctor. This may include labs and other satudies. Once all of the information is in, your doctor can let you know what's going on, and what to do to help you.

Answer 5

See below: Headaches that have 'area pain' that moves around from place to place might actually be pain from the muscles that move the lower jaw. There are many of them and if they are in 'spasm', they will hurt. Many things can cause them to be spasmotic. Consulting with a dentist trained in TMJ diagnosis and treatment may be helpful.

Answer 6

Multiple Headache : Variable location headaches should be looked at by a number of specialists in headache care including your TMJ dentist who is neuromuscular and myofascial trigger point trained in travell techniques. We see many headaches from cervical and dental origin that need therapy to be eliminated.

Answer 7

Have it evaluated: You should check for the usual causes such as sinuses and tension headaches. It is unusual to have the headaches in the morning with regularity. It is particularly concerning if it wakes you in the morning from sleep. If indeed this is the case, you should have it evaluated because one of the typical characteristics of brain tumors is the morning headache.
