Can't be exact about: The cause of headaches because there are several major types, e.g., vascular, sinus, muscular, tension, etc. Please see you doc so he/she can examine you and give you the proper treatment for the type of headache you have. Sorry if you are dealing w/this. Peace and good health. Biofeedback or clinical hypnosis (www.asch.net) can be very helpful.

Headache: Start off with combination of paracetamole and brufen. Keep hydration up. If that doesn't help in a couple of hours see a doctor as a detailed history will be needed to figure out type of headache . Treatment will be suggested following that .
