What would be a good way to take care of a headache caused by stress?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neurologist + meds: Stress headaches (ha) are usually migraines. If you have ha at least 3 days/week, you first need to get on a preventative agent. This will reduce the frequency & intensity of the pain. You also need a med. To take for the acute ha. This is usually a triptan (ie imitrex). You want to get off of any medicine that might be causing rebound/medicine overuse ha (ie excedrin). A neurologist can help.
