Dangerous : Straining with head ache is a worrisome situation - can lead to stroke. Make sure your blood pressure is ok. Take magnesium supplements and night upto 800mg. Take essential fatty acids especially omega 9 like borage oil, olive oil, flax oil, sesame oil these come also as capsules. This will help avoid straining. Consult your doctor or check any first line therapist for medical food resolve this.
